Which is the best product to buy?
The question arises when there is a need to cut wood, but there is not enough experience and knowledge. Experts recommend following these tips:
- Understand how much work needs to be done and what kind of material you will have to deal with. For cross cutting, a chisel tool is selected, for longitudinal cutting, a chipper tool is used.
- Understand the characteristics of a chainsaw, especially bar length and pitch. There is no point in choosing a specific brand; this indicator is not fundamental.
Where to buy the unit, everyone chooses independently. It is best to visit specialized outlets, talk with a sales manager, decide on the package, hold the tool in your hands, and ask the price. There is an option to order products online in an online store. The main thing is not to encounter counterfeit. This is the advantage of a branded store, where there is a minimal likelihood of purchasing a low-quality Chinese product instead of a branded product.
Oregon professional chains
Two models of Oregon chains are classified as professional - LGX and LPX.
Model LGX
It is used on powerful chainsaws with a combustion chamber volume from 50 to 80 cubic meters. cm. The cutting links have a rectangular chisel-type profile (seven). Wedge-shaped cutting depth limiter. The chain provides high cutting speed. During operation it can withstand heavy loads.
Model LPX
The design of the model is similar to the previous one. But LPX is designed for slightly lower operating loads than LPX. Recommended for lighter chainsaws with a combustion chamber volume of up to 50 cubic meters. see power up to 3 hp
Both of the above models enter the wood gently and do not bounce, making them comfortable to use and safe.
The “professional” category implies that the chains are designed for continuous operation during a work shift over a long period of time, as opposed to chains of periodic operation.
The Oregon 20LPX100R saw chain is described in the following video, where it is also compared with a chain from Stihl and gives a little information about the manufacturer:
I bought a fake, what next?
What to do if you were in a hurry and already bought a Chinese chainsaw called Husqvarna 5200? The main thing is not to get upset and prepare for the fact that you will have to do all the repair and adjustment work yourself. Most likely, you will not find the operating instructions included with the saw, so to properly start the tool, refer to the video instructions:
As for repairs and adjustments of the carburetor, lubrication, etc., the design of the internal combustion engine and other systems is identical for all chainsaws, with the exception of some nuances, so you can be guided by similar devices. The characteristics are also not fully presented; the Chinese manufacturer indicated only the most basic ones:
| Model | Husqvarna 5200 |
| Cylinder volume | 25 cm3 |
| Number of revolutions at idle | 3 thousand rpm. |
| Tire length | 40 cm. |
| Fuel tank capacity | 550 ml. |
| Chain lubrication tank volume | 260 ml. |
| Ready to use weight | 5.3 kg. |
As a consolation, we can say that this tool also works; with proper maintenance, the chainsaw can work for quite a long time before the first repair. Spare parts are inexpensive - this is also a big plus.
Device, tool maintenance instructions
Design of the Husqvarna 137 chainsaw: the simple design of the chainsaw consists of a block with a two-stroke engine, an air cleaner, a clutch, a fuel and oil reservoir and a guide bar with a cutting chain. Both the chain and the tire are replaceable equipment, completely replaceable with analogues after final wear (installation of components 15 and 13 inches long is allowed).
Fuel and oil, lubricants for husqvarna 137
The Husqvarna chainsaw engine is designed to run on unleaded gasoline. The best choice for this model is AI-95 or AI-92 gasoline. The ratio of gasoline to oil is 40:1, resulting in a 2.5% mixture for the operator. The fuel is mixed separately, in a special clean mixing container.
Why is it necessary to adhere to such rules? Because poorly mixed fuel with dirt particles or other debris can cause deterioration in the performance of the piston group and, in general, accelerate engine wear.
Oil recommended for Husqvarna chainsaw engine: manufacturer’s recommendation oil for two-stroke air-cooled Partner engines or original Husqvarna. Also use specific oil from Husqvarna or Partner to lubricate the bar and chain.
Oil for two-stroke engines PARTNER Oil Husqvarna HP 2-stroke
Duration of operation of the Husqvarna 137 chainsaw
The average operating time of a Husqvarna chainsaw on one refill is 30-40 minutes, depending on the degree of load. After running out of fuel, if you need to continue working, turn off the engine, let it cool and refuel the tool.
The main causes of malfunctions of the Husqvarna 137 chainsaw and how to eliminate them
Table 1. Causes of husqvarna 137 malfunctions and how to resolve them
| Malfunction | Cause | Remedy |
| The chainsaw suddenly begins to stall during operation, loses power, and refuses to turn on. | There may be a violation in the piston group; carburetor adjustment or engine maintenance is necessary. | It is not recommended to replace the piston and other components of the piston group yourself; contact the service center specialists. |
| The chain moves when the motor is idling. | The chain should not move when the engine is idling, but if it does, the cause is probably in the carburetor. | It is necessary to adjust the carburetor, perhaps change the chain. |
| The engine does not start, stalls immediately after starting. | Cold weather, choke lever not extended, engine not warmed up. Excess fuel (tank full). | Start according to the instructions, with the choke pulled out. Pour off some of the fuel. |
| The chainsaw smokes while working and then stalls. | Excess oil. | Fill in oil no more than the recommended rate for this model. |
| Gasoline does not flow from the chainsaw tank to the engine. | The breather is clogged and needs cleaning or replacement. | The breather replacement is carried out by service center specialists or by the owner himself if the chainsaw is not under warranty. |

Basic chainsaw chain problems
Chainsaw users often encounter problems with saw chain tension. It either weakens spontaneously or stretches and falls off. As a rule, these troubles are caused by unit breakdowns. Therefore, before proceeding with the procedure for tensioning the chain links, you should check and eliminate possible causes that could lead to adjustment problems.
The reasons that the chain on a chainsaw stretches may be heavy loads or insufficient supply of lubricant to the bar. Because of this, the saw overheats, the metal expands, the size of the saw element increases, and it flies off the tire. The flow of oil may be disrupted if the pump breaks down, the channels become clogged, or the oil hose breaks.
If you have replaced the chain on your chainsaw with a new one, then be prepared for the fact that it will stretch a little during the break-in period. It is only necessary to check the tension in time so that the element does not fly off the tire.
When the driven or driving sprocket wears out, the effectiveness of adhesion to the chain links decreases, causing the saw element to fly off. In this case, you will have to unscrew the chain drive and change the sprocket. Also, the saw blade of the unit may fly off due to its stretching or deformation of the tire.
If the chain on your chainsaw weakens, then this malfunction may be caused by a failed tension mechanism.
Headset
Replacement equipment consists of a 15-inch guide bar and 0.325-inch pitch chain driven by a drive sprocket. The chain tension is adjusted using a special device.
Cooling and lubrication of the chain is realized by dosed supply of oil to the working area. Oil is supplied to the pump inlet from an internal reservoir with a volume of 200 ml.
Replacing a worn tire-chain set is not technically difficult. In order to independently remove the chain drive sprocket, you must use the universal key included in the factory kit.
The use of recommended chain oils has a positive effect on the efficiency and durability of removable equipment as a whole.
Pros and cons of Oregon chains
The main advantage is stable quality. There are practically no factory defects in Oregon chains, such as:
- the riveting is too hard, the links do not fold and the chain jams;
- inaccurate compliance with strict parameters for thickness and link pitch;
- unsuitable alloys of links (hard ones burst, soft ones stretch), teeth (soft ones, quickly dull).
Such defects can occur in small industries, but this is not about Oregon.
The disadvantages include the unclear origin of individual groups of saw chains. For example, a consumer buys a saw chain with the inscription Oregon on the box, then discovers another honest inscription in a smaller font - Made in China. At the same time, it is unknown whether this chain was produced at the Oregon enterprise under the supervision of specialists, from alloys and using the company’s technologies, or whether a certain Chinese company bought a patent for the right to produce its products under this brand.
Be that as it may, chains for household chainsaws under the Oregon Made in China brand have a number of disadvantages:
- stretch quickly;
- the teeth quickly become dull and require frequent sharpening, so they quickly grind down to an unusable state;
- the teeth wear unevenly.
The last drawback is critical when sharpening on a machine is required. The machine is always set to sharpen according to the smallest tooth, otherwise it will remain unsharpened. As a result, almost entire teeth are ground down to the size of one, the smallest one. And the entire chain will not last long. When the tooth measured from above is less than 4 mm, the chain needs to be changed.
But objectively, even Oregon Made in China is more stable in quality than chains from unknown manufacturers.
Analogs
In this power group, models of well-known brands ECHO CS-350WES-14, Sturm GC99372B, ZUBR PBC-490 45DP, as well as a number of identically priced chainsaws made in Europe and Asia are in stable demand.

Over 9 years of flawless operation, I replaced the starter and clutch spring once. The car is quite decent in terms of its capabilities. Among the disadvantages, one can note the high cost of branded oils. My saw uses chain oil twice as fast as gasoline. As far as I know, this phenomenon is typical for many budget cars. Test substitution of a new oil pump did not produce any results. I found a suitable equivalent, the TAD-17 transmission, and the situation stabilized. Other shortcomings include the lack of a toothed stop for securely fixing the saw when cutting round timber, the lack of visual control of the fuel and chain oil levels, and a not very convenient chain tightening scheme. Alexander
I liked the saw, it’s light, easy to use, quite powerful and easy to maintain. I have been using it for almost 7 years, the annual production is within 50-60 cubic meters of firewood. The tire is long enough to fell old trees. I bought an expensive carbide chain for sawing oak, but now I have big problems with sharpening. The engine is sensitive to fuel quality and sudden changes in air temperature. In some cases it is necessary to compensate by additional adjustment of the carburetor. At one time, I bought the instrument for only 8,000 rubles. Now I regret that I didn’t buy two at once. The service said that the production of cheap chainsaws was transferred to China. If this is the case, we can expect that relocation will inevitably affect the quality of the product range. Dimon
Owner reviews
I am a four year owner of a used 137. I can’t say anything bad; the chainsaw is reliable, productive and versatile in all respects. There are no problems with spare parts, tires and chains for any price. I earn money for gasoline from neighbors and acquaintances by dumping relatively small trees and sawing firewood. The machine is low-cost to operate, the oils are expensive, but you can save a little on chain lubrication. Towards the end of each chain’s life, I fill it with a mixture of diesel oil and a spindle that is uniform in density. Zhenya
In practice, I compared the work of the Shtil 180 and the Husqvarna model 137. Despite the small remaining service life, both machines deserve the highest rating. In my opinion, Husqvarna is more flexible, the grip is comfortable and reliable. An engine with stable traction in summer and winter, but sensitive to fuel quality and precise dosage of engine oil. I would love to buy a new device, but this model is no longer for sale. They advise me to buy the next model 236, but I’m afraid to buy a fake, especially since in the practice of my friends such cases are not uncommon. Vasily Viktorovich
I heard a lot of good things about the survivability and reliability of the Husqvarna 137 model of motor saws, so there were no doubts when purchasing its improved version 137e. The machine pleased us with its light weight, effective operation of the vibration compensator and easy start system. After about 20 hours of operating time, a leak opened in the oil pump area, the equipment was under warranty, I had to take it to a service center. It turns out that all that was needed was to tighten the fasteners. In all other respects, the saw is impeccable; in 5 years of operation there has not been a single serious failure. Valery Nikolaevich
Review of chainsaw models, their differences
To choose a tool for the job, you need to familiarize yourself with several models, find out their differences and buy a suitable saw upon request.
The Husqvarna 236 chainsaw is intended for domestic use. It can be equipped with a tire in cm. All of the above options are available in the tool, ensuring easy starting even in winter. It uses fuel economically and emissions of combustion products have been halved.
The power of the Husqvarna 236 chainsaw is 1.9 liters. With. or 1400 W. With a small tire and a weight of 4.6 kg, it is convenient for trimming trees in the garden, chopping branches and sawing small logs, but not larch.
The Husqvarna 142 chainsaw is a semi-professional tool. It is used for winter firewood collection in rural areas. In winter, at sub-zero temperatures, it starts the fourth time. Particularly noteworthy is the curved handle, which allows for a comfortable grip. With this tool you can work at heights:
- comfortable handle to hold;
- easy starting is ensured by a starting spring;
- chain inertia brake reduces kickback when cutting wood;
- uniform weight distribution with separation of engine blocks and fuel tank further reduces vibration;
- a forged three-section crankshaft increases the power of the saw.
Working at heights is not possible with just any tool. It is difficult to maintain balance under load on scaffolding. Therefore, for those involved in the construction of country houses, this reliable American-made Husqvarna 142 chainsaw is suitable.
Technical characteristics of the saw:
- two-stroke engine power – 1.9 kW;
- maximum fuel volume – 410 cm3;
- oil container – 200 cm3;
- tire length – 33-38 cm;
- total weight before refueling is 4.6 kg.
The Husqvarna 240 chainsaw is an example of a new generation of household tools. A new option, in addition to those listed, which are typical for all Husqvarna saws, is a broken chain catcher. The traumatic factor has been eliminated. The power and performance of the saw expands the range of use to semi-professional use.
Technical parameters of the Husqvarna 240 chainsaw:
- engine working chamber volume 38.2 cm3;
- engine power – 1.5 kW;
- fuel tank capacity – 0.4 l;
- tire length - 38 cm;
- oil pump with constant flow rate for lubrication.
When working with the tool, you must follow the instructions in the operating instructions. This particular brand of chainsaws was named among the three that have:
- engine with a high resource;
- improved fuel cleaning before injection;
- a well-thought-out system of centering and damping of components to reduce vibration.
If the saw is properly run-in, oils, fuels and additives are used in accordance with the instructions, and maintenance is carried out during maintenance, the service life will last longer than the two years guaranteed by the manufacturer.
The Husqvarna 135 chainsaw is the lightest design, only 4.4 kg without fuel, oil and saw unit. The saw has a 1.5 liter engine. pp., fuel tank – 0.37 l. Recommended tires - 36-38 cm. Differences in equipment:
- the presence of a metal stop for cutting round logs; in other amateur models this spike is made of plastic;
- convenient lid with quick removal for checking spark plugs;
- reusable air filters with easy replacement.
- Soft rubber handles provide a comfortable grip.
The Husqvarna 137 chainsaw was released in 2005 for amateurs, but with a powerful 2.2 liter engine. With. and a fuel tank of 410 cm3. This model has an improved ignition system with easy starting. The bar length used is 33-38 cm. For this saw, the manufacturer recommends using a chain of its own production, H 30, the leading link should be 1.3 cm thick.
In order for the saw to work flawlessly, the operating conditions must be observed, since this particular model does not tolerate rough handling:
- adjust the saw mechanism;
- lubricate the chain with the recommended compound at idle speed;
- fill the carburetor with the proprietary mixture;
- start the saw with the starter.
For the first 10 hours of work, saw without loading the mechanism, let the mating units get used to it. For those who rarely use saw tools, the manufacturer has improved the starting system. A special spring rotates the crankshaft so that the start takes place without much effort. The ignition mechanism was borrowed from professionals. As a result, the saw received a humorous review from a grateful customer - it does not refill itself and does not want to saw if you do not hold it with your hands.
The review contains information about the most commonly purchased amateur chainsaws and their features. Which one to choose is up to the buyer to decide.

Analogs
The main competitors of the Husqvarna 365 chainsaw are chainsaws from leading European and Asian brands. The models available on the domestic market are ECHO CS-501SX-15, Oleo-Mac 962/18, STIHL MS 291-16 and other options identical in power and purpose, or the more expensive segment Stihl ms 660, the price of which is more than 50 thousand.
The performance and other characteristics of the 365th Husqvarna declared by the manufacturer have been confirmed in practice. The machine is capable of working a full shift with minimal stops to replenish the tanks with fuel mixture and oil. Moreover, experienced sawers practice refueling chainsaws at idle speed at temperatures as low as -30 degrees. Professionals respect Husqvarnas for their high maintainability. Using spare parts from a decommissioned tool, in the field it was possible to restore in one night a saw that had been pressed into dense snow by a fallen tree. Ilya Petrovich
After 9 years of operation of the Husqvarna 365 chainsaw, I disassembled the tool for preventative repairs. I was pleased with the excellent condition of the cylinder mirror and piston group, the convenient dismantling of the chain drive sprocket crown, and the working condition of the starter and oil pump. The condition of the instrument is capable of working for another 6-8 years. I hope that by then the cost of new models will remain at a level accessible to the mass user. Sergey
After the 180th Calm, the new Husqvarna seemed heavy and less flexible, but after several hours of work the slight discomfort disappeared. The controls are thought out to the smallest detail, the work is truly comfortable and even brings a lot of positive emotions. In winter, a cold start is realized after the 3rd or 4th attempt, a hot engine “suffices” with half a turn. The branded chain is beyond criticism, but it is also replaceable and needs frequent sharpening. I bought it on the market, so I don’t rule out purchasing a low-quality fake. Nikolay Vasilievich
Operational advantages
The popularity of this model is largely based on its affordable cost, easy maintenance, comfortable operation and high maintainability.
Using the spare parts available in the assortment, the owner can carry out a full repair of the product with his own hands with minimal expenditure of material resources and time.

- Assemble the Husqvarna chainsaw according to the descriptions in the manual.
- Put on the headset and tighten the chain mechanism.
- Prepare a mixture of AI-92 gasoline and oil for 2-stroke engines from Husqvarna in a ratio of 50/1 (1 liter of fuel per 0.1 liter of oil).
- Fill the saw with fuel and pour lubricant into the tank.
- The chainsaw starts.
- The functionality of the following systems is checked: the operation of the oil pump and conductive paths (chain lubrication), the operation of the brake during recoil and the operation of the chainsaw in idle mode.
Run-in duration
Run-in is carried out during the first 10 hours of operation. During this period, the chainsaw is operated under reduced load conditions - no more than 50% of the power of the power plant. In 10 hours, all moving parts of the unit are ground in, which increases the service life of the motor and the chainsaw itself.

Typical faults and repairs of Husqvarna chainsaws
Owners of Husqvarna chainsaws rarely experience breakdowns of their tools. However, if this does happen, then you can try to fix the problem yourself. Let's talk in more detail about how to identify a breakdown and repair a Husqvarna chainsaw without the help of a specialist.
How to adjust the carburetor on a Husqvarna chainsaw?
In case the Husqvarna chainsaw does not start, or it does not develop speed, the reason for this lies in the violation of the factory carburetor settings. To do this, the tool has 3 screws, marked with the letters “H”, “L” and “T”.
To set up a Husqvarna chainsaw, you need to proceed in this order:
- Adjusting the saw's carburetor begins with warming up its engine for 5 minutes. After this, start turning the “L” screw until you hear the maximum speed generated by its motor. Then immediately turn the screw a quarter turn in the opposite direction;
- Then, with one hand, press and hold the throttle trigger for 10 seconds. At the same time, with your second hand, turn the screw “H” a quarter turn to create maximum load on the motor;
- After this, release the gas trigger and start turning the “T” screw in the direction of the clock hand. As soon as the chain begins to rotate along the bar, turn the screw in the opposite direction until the chain stops.
How to remove the clutch on a Husqvarna chainsaw?
- Remove the air filter and unscrew the spark plug. If necessary, wipe the area around the chainsaw spark plug;
- At the next stage, you will need to remove the sprocket from the Husqvarna chainsaw - this will make it possible to carefully inspect the mechanism for blockages;
- The clutch coil is unscrewed in the clockwise direction. Under it there is a pressure washer, which also needs to be removed;
- At the end, the sprocket is replaced and a new clutch is installed. Reassembling the Husqvarna chainsaw is performed in the reverse order.
The first few starts of the chainsaw engine will be accompanied by ringing sounds - this is due to the fact that the drive sprocket will rotate until it finally falls into place.
Oil does not flow to the Husqvarna chainsaw chain - reasons and solution
- First, remove the protective cover and starter spring, after which the chainsaw air filter is dismantled.
- Below it on the right side there is an oil pump, which needs to be inspected for cracks and other damage. If necessary, replace the pump;
- If you notice that the oil hoses have moved away from their base, then they will also need to be replaced with new parts.
After installing new spare parts, you can continue working with the tool. In the future, use only high-quality oil from trusted manufacturers. The correctly selected sharpening angle of the Husqvarna chainsaw chain is also of great importance, since the speed of movement and the intensity of lubrication of the saw element depend on it.

Competitors
1-Echo CS-3500 2-Partner 350 3-Stihl MS 180
The main competitor of the 137th model in the mass market segment was and remains the 180th “Stihl”. Its main advantage is that it is produced to this day, but Husqvarna has already changed its model range. Otherwise, the saws were almost complete classmates, so the discussion of the adherents comes down to an argument about what is better, hot or salty. For domestic needs, models such as Partner 350 or Echo CS-3500 are inferior to the Swedish model in reliability. It’s somehow even embarrassing to talk about purely Chinese and Russian (that is, Chinese again) units.
