Chain saws from the firms "Makita" and "Champion"
The chain saw is a common tool in summer cottages and construction sites. Power tools are suitable for small construction work. Their capacity is quite enough for all tasks on the construction site.
Electric saws from the firms "Makita" and "Champion" are widely used in Russia and the CIS countries. Let's consider which chain saw is better to choose for construction and garden work using the example of the Makita 4530 and CHAMPION 324N-18 models. These two models differ in terms of the design of the working part and engine power, but all other technical characteristics are identical.
Electric saw "Makita 4530"
The body of the Makita 4530 electric saw is made of high quality plastic. On the rear handle of the chain saw, there is a chain rotation lock button and a start button. An accidental start protection system ensures operator safety during operation. In order to start the engine, you must hold down two buttons.
Saw "Makita 4530" equipped with a 2 kW electric motor. Due to the light weight of the saw, which is about 2 kg, the engine power is not enough for felling trees with a large trunk.
The saw chain must always be sharpened, otherwise it may get stuck in the wood during operation.
The saw motor is located longitudinally. Saw "Makita 4530" is equipped with a system for stopping the engine in case of power failure. The engine also stalls when overheated.
The body has a front ergonomic handle. It is at right angles to the body. The chain rotation mechanism is made of plastic. Its design uses a large number of parts, which complicates the repair of the tool.
Electric saw "CHAMPION 324N-18"
The CHAMPION 324N-18 chain saw is equipped with a 1200 W motor. This power is enough for heavy construction and garden work. The saw weighs 3.5 kg, so the chain cuts well into wood. Saw bar length - 450 mm.
The mechanism of its rotation is a metal spiral along which, during the operation of the tool, the metal part of the tire moves. This mechanism has a number of advantages:
- quick repair;
- durability;
- possibility of automatic chain tensioning.
This tool is perfect for both light gardening and heavy construction work. The undoubted advantage of "CHAMPION 324N-18" is the cost of the tool. It can be purchased 1.5 times cheaper than a Makita saw.
