Features

Anti-vibration system

SALEMMASLER has developed a system for minimizing the vibration levels of handheld outdoor power equipment. The SALEMMASLER anti-vibration system helps reduce operator fatigue and provides a more comfortable working experience.

Bumper Spikes

These spikes prevent pull-in and provide better control, making cutting easier.

Easy-Access Air Filter Cover

The provided easy-access makes it almost effortless to remove the cover for fast filter cleaning or replacement.

Front Hand Guard

The hand guard is designed to reduce the risk of injury.

High-Tech Polymer Housings

Housings are lightweight, withstand greater impact, and are corrosion-resistant.

Master Control Lever™

The Master Control Lever™ is an easy to use single lever, operating the choke, starting throttle lock, and on-off switch. The operator must pull the throttle trigger before moving the Master Control Lever™ to the choke position.

Rear Hand Guard

The hand guard is designed to reduce the risk of injury and provide a wide area for foot placement during starting.

Chain Brake Safety System

SALEMMASLER chainsaws feature a responsive chain brake system designed to enhance user safety during operation.

In the event of kickback, the brake can engage automatically via inertia or be activated manually by the operator.

This mechanism is engineered to stop the chain rapidly, helping reduce potential injury risks.

Side-Access Chain Tensioner

The side-access chain tensioner makes it much more convenient for the user to adjust the saw chain with a bar wrench as opposed to the typical location of the guide bar adjustment screw.

Throttle Trigger Lockout

This safety feature must be depressed before the trigger can be activated.

Make sure you have the switch in the ON position. Don't ask, LOL.

The only issue I have, and it's a preference, is the chain tightening screw is along side the bar.

It runs like a BOSS.

Value Strong

I fell 2 40 to 50 ft trees and cut them up in about 2 and a half hours. Ran strong and only filled the fuel tank 3 times and bar oil 2 times. Cleaned up nice after.

Best Buy

Starts very easy!

Starts fairly easy; does not having a primer bulb, but with the choke on for 2-3 priming pulls and then half choke, it usually starts in 1-2 pulls. The pull cord is made in a way that it does not require a lot of strength to pull, and seems to store energy then release it. The saw does vibrate a lot, but if you were gloves eye protection and hearing protection you��ll be fine. Decent saw for the price, but be careful with it!

Also, the scrench holder in the handle is awesome, but sometimes it is a bit hard to get out. I would also suggest a carb tuning kit and tuning the carb slightly; out of the box mine needed to warm up to run good, but now it��s ok to use pretty much right off startup!

12�� chain saw

So far it��s been a great little saw, love how small it is. I bought it for my wife to use and she likes how easy it is to start. Time will tell how durable it is but it seems good for now.

Good Saw for the money, casual use

Well, I have only used this saw once so far, so I'm not sure how well it will hold up in the long run. But for the price it does perform pretty well.

Only negatives so far:
-It is a bit heavy and can be hard to start
- Instructions are not very clear.
-There is no mention of installing the "Buck Spikes/Grabber Teeth" in the instructions. I happen to find the mounting screws just lying loosely in the tool pouch.

You need to know

Overall, the saw ran great on the first 2 runs. 3rd run discovered poor engineering. I pulled the saw out and attempted to start it. After 5 min. of trying to start it, fuel was coming out of the exhaust. The switch was in the on position and the choke was pulled out. Didn't even hint on starting the whole time. Upon breakdown to remove filter and spark plug, I noticed the air filter was clogged by sawdust. That is not an issue I've had on another saw. Once the excess fuel was cleared and the filter was cleaned, it ran good. Couple days later I went to start the saw and the chain wanted to rotate. Discovered the clutch had failed. The hook on the spring broke. I'm currently in contact with vevor about the clutch specifications so that I can buy a quality clutch. I would buy this saw again, just upgrade/modify a few things. For $106, not a horrid buy. When the saw is running, it cuts pretty quick and the weight of it isn't too bad. I found on first operation, it was super easy to use. It started up within 5 pulls of the cord. I would say that if you don't know how to troubleshoot, you need to stay away from this saw. If you don't know how to break in a 2 stroke engine, stay away from this saw. If you don't know how to take care of a saw, stay away from any saw. Preventive maintenance well help, but doesnt help poor engineering. I do intend on doing some modifications and upgrades to help prolong the life of this saw.

Needs Lock Nuts for the Clutch/Chain Cover

This is a great saw for the money. I bought the 58cc/20" variety. It has great power but it is a bit thirsty because of it. It started on the 3rd pull right out of the box and runs great. The handle assembly feels cheap and I often hit the kill switch with my thumb as it is very close to the handle.

My only real issue is keeping the chain tight and the cover on. My first use I lost one of the nuts for the chain tensioner/cover and the other came loose. It ruined the chain so I replaced that and tried again. If I make the nuts too tight the chain binds up. So I used a lock nut I had in stock and the remaining original one. My next use saw the remaining original nut loose and gone and my lock nut holding the cover on. Otherwise the saw is a beast. It easily cuts thick logs. It always starts easily and runs great. I would recommend it. It is tought to beat for the price.

Good enough chainsaw, Amazon so so and hopefully review has helpful info.

A rating of 3.5 stars would be most accurate. But I rounded up since the saw did exceed what was rather low expectations on my part. Based on reviews, this seems to rather a lottery type purchase. There is roughly 75% chance you'll love the saw and a roughly 25% chance you'll regret the purchase. I don't regret the purchase.

Why? And why my low initial expectations?

It was going to cost $72 a day to rent a 20" gas chainsaw from Home Depot. With transportation and waiting I'd be out a couple of hours every time I rented one. So basically if this saw worked for two days I'd save both time and money. I've used the saw three days now. And day three was the best in terms of ease of starting. So....exceeds expectations.

Now a few things to go over
1) It can be finicky about starting. No surprise for small two stroke engines. It floods easily so the Choke IS NOT your friend. Ignore the instructions VEVOR sends on starting. Follow the internet advice. Cold it's switch on - (and "O" is the OFF position) choke out, pull twice, push choke in and pull till it starts (usually 2-4 times). If it doesn't start repeat the steps. It FLOODS EASY!!! Do not leave the choke out more than 2-3 pulls.

The advice for starting it if it has flooded is like the game of twister. You have to hold the throttle wide open while you crank it. But to start normally and safely you need a foot and both hands. Holding the throttle wide open needs a third hand. Get help.
Once it's been running a while it starts easy first pull. EXCEPT if you let it run out of gas. Then cross your fingers because it probably will take lots of pulls and sweating to get it going again. So I learned to use it for a while then turn it off and top off the tank.

2) As some other reviews have mentioned, the saw I got leaks bar oil when stored. Makes it a bit messy. I've put a plastic tray underneath it like people use pet food/water bowls. Saw lives in my yard barn which is messy anyway so not a horrid problem. But it is a defect and if you keep your yard tools inside a nice. clean shop or garage you might want to place it on something to catch any oil leaking until you know if you got one that does leak.

3) The saw does cut really well. I don't have enough experience with gas chainsaws to compare to the more expensive brands. It seems unlikely the much more expensive brands of chainsaws cut way better since this one does really seem to have plenty of power and cuts thick and hard wood quickly. It's way, WAY more powerful and faster cutting than my 14" electric (plug in) chainsaw.

4) Amazon won't let you return this if you get a defective one. Other - brick and mortar retailers with lots of locations - sell this same saw online at similar prices and it can be returned. Often online and always to a store. If it's gas powered Amazon say it's hazardous to ship back. Hmmm. They shipped it to me.... Anyway - keep this in mind and maybe it should be purchased somewhere else or maybe it's especially wise to purchase the warranty. Amazon doesn't want it back but the insurance will cover either fixing it or give $$ back.

Great saw for the price!!

If you're looking for a good saw but don't want to spend a ton this is the saw for you. I bought mine almost a year ago and it has done everything I've wanted it to. We've had a couple big trees go down on the property and this saw had no issues. The only issue I've had so far is a stretched chain which is to be expected with the amount of use its had (around 3 cords of wood cut for the wood stove), and the pull cord broke but a replacement was only $15. Unless you're a professional logger do yourself a favor and save some cash by buying this saw. I've attached a picture of one of the oaks we chopped up.

Couldn't be happier. Fantastic saw. Ripps.

When I bought the saw I figured I would have to do some of those tune up things to get it ripping. When the saw came I had my wrenches ready to adjust the carburetor and possibly do some work on the exhaust. But I figured I would just start it and see where I'm at right out of the box. This saw started up right away. I did spray some oil and gas into the spark plug hole, but that was just to make sure it had oil on initial startup. The saw started right up for me and it ripped. Throttle response was instant and the Max RPM was very high. There was nothing that I needed to do. I ran two tanks of 25 to 1 and let it idle until it ran out of gas just for break in. The first time I had to use the saw it started up on the 2nd or 3rd pull and ran great. Factory chain cut through oak logs like butter. I was really impressed with subsequent startups on the first pull. I'm not a professional logger but I'm going to use this more than most homeowners. I'm going to recommend this to everybody.

Great chainsaw for the price

120 dollar chainsaw?? Very skeptical on the purchase. But to my surprise this worked great. Had some big tress fall in my yard from a storm and cut through them like butter and with no bogging down. If your a homeowner and need to cut some trees down this is a great affordable chainsaw. I would also recommend to buy the pre mixed trufuel 40:1 mix green can home depot carries it. My only bad knock on it is the plastic chain guard gets caught up on the chain when putting it on or taking it off

Not a bad saw to use and abuse

For $120 you honestly can't go wrong. It has plenty of power for bucking and felling. Thing actually rips right out of the box and comes pretty well tuned. Mine smoked a little bit at wide open, but after several tanks of fuel it has cleared up. So far it starts every time on the 4th pull. Plan on putting a pipe on it here shortly and letting her breath a little better.

Good chainsaw for the money!

I couldn��t believe the price for this chainsaw, so I took a chance. It works great! After it got fuel, it starts on the first or second pull, that��s what I was looking for. The chain is razor sharp and it buzzes right through any wood. Now my old Husqvarna is the backup saw��..
