For the auctioned price, the quality is okay.
One should just not expect to get a Stihl.
For use as a hobby gardeners the sense is, however, so far to good use.
What I like:
- Fairly simple overall structure, for a hobby hobbyist also maintain itself
- Trimmer head, two different knives, tools, mixing vessel, carrying strap - and more
- Weight is okay
- Making a relatively robust impression - let's see what bring the time with him
- Easy assembling nylon string head and blade
- Enough power
- Thread holds quite well
What I do not like:
- Setting / mounting the hand lever slightly fiddly and hard at work, the left handle slightly twisted. Grip width not optimally adjustable; Repeat after me with my 185cm almost too far. So you have to cut back on the left hand grip again ran the saw.
- Handles stink extremely Chemicals
- Instructions for a layman probably not always comprehensible. Here is clearly a need for improvement exists
- Start behavior for guidance (extra supplement) poor
Following instructions it did not work with me - no chance.
(Ie press the shift lever down) Start position on the throttle lever to ON or I .Fasten Choke in cold starting not quite up to the OFF position (as described in the manual) but a brief overview of center: Tip. Press the primer pump a few times, the starter cord gently pull up Widertand and then pull strongly. After 3-4 times you should then come. Let the sense only once a minute to warm up and then move the choke to the ON position and off you go.
- Incorrect labeling of the choke: The air intake is reduced at the choke OFF and ON position when released. This means that the choke is working the other way around or the lever mislabeled. Can When unscrewing the air filter is the well recognize.
- Throttle makes a cheap impression and pinched something. Something Silikonspray has done quite well here.
- Strap is not a deal breaker and adjust fiddly. For now and then but adequate.
- Consumption could be slightly less. Legal thirsty the Good
All in all for the price real (with me around the 70,00) OK.
If you now over the years nor reliable does your service then matches the.
I will report on news.
=========================================
Addendum August 2014:
And it still runs without snags.
Just recently again freed my slope of meter high bushes.
In high grass the supplied 3Zahn-sheet is recommended.
This goes through like butter; the thread is here not the right and wraps too often around the shaft.
As I described the Left Handrail simply shortened with the hacksaw to fit me. Now the true ergonomics much better and you can work with less fatigue. Still drive with 1:25 mixture - do you seem good that extra sip oil ;-)
Speaking of mixing ratio. The included mixing tank can actually equal to migrate to the ton. Beginning not tight when new.
For important I keep hearing protection when working. That part makes quite substantially ruckus.
So far still recommended.
