Performance properties

The real capabilities of the saw are expanded due to a fairly powerful and economical power unit, a 16-inch guide bar, excellent balancing, the presence of an effective vibration damper and an easy start system.

The saw combines the advantages of a classic layout with modern technical and engineering solutions. The design of the body and the ergonomic arrangement of the handles provide a secure grip and a significant reduction in operator fatigue when performing large sawing jobs.

Most popular models

Now let's look at a couple of the most popular and unique models from this manufacturer. At this point, chainsaws, which have no equal in almost the whole world, will be presented for public viewing. So, the leading places in the global electrical engineering market are occupied by:

Characteristics of the Poulan 2150 chainsaw

The manufacturer presented this model to us with a body in the production of which high-quality plastic was used, and it is also impact-resistant. This is an important advantage of these chainsaws, since construction or, for example, logging does not have favorable terrain, and “chaos” for such activities is quite normal.

It is therefore not surprising that a chainsaw can either fall or have something fall on it, so you can rest assured that this model will look great even after this level of difficult work.

Specifications

The dry weight of a fairly compact and small-sized saw without removable equipment is 4.7 kg. The tool is equipped with a simple design, reliable and fuel-efficient two-stroke engine with a volume of 38 cm3 and a power of 1.74 hp.

The overhaul life of the power unit is increased due to the manufacture of crank mechanism parts from special steel, chrome plating of the cylinder mirror, and high-precision assembly.

The engine runs on a mixture of high-octane motor gasoline and two-stroke engine oil. Fuel enters the carburetor from an internal reservoir with a capacity of 0.38 liters. The presence of a booster pump simplifies starting the power unit in low temperature conditions.

Features of the manufacturer's devices

The main advantage of the products manufactured by this company is that it uses relatively inexpensive but high-quality plastics in the manufacture of the housing. This contributes to the low cost of its models, as well as the durability of its products.

In addition, each of its chainsaws, without exception, has an excellent function, such as anti-vibration . It is this feature that greatly simplifies and makes the process of working with the device more comfortable. In addition, this function becomes for the chainsaw owner a kind of “amulet” against occupational diseases.

Moreover, all of the company's products are equipped with a high-quality motor with a high level of power, which contributes to greater productivity of the tool even in the most difficult situations. Absolutely every detail of the chainsaw, from the simplest bolt to the body, meets all the necessary European standards of the highest quality and safety.

Another important factor in the popularity of these models is their light weight , but this does not mean that their functionality is in any way inferior to larger models from other manufacturers.

On the contrary, this kind of feature of the company’s tools adds advantages to the almost “ideal” products. It is easy to work with, it is not “capricious” and not difficult to repair (see what to do if a chainsaw stalls), since spare parts from this manufacturer are easy to find in any specialized store.

Pay attention to Russian-made chainsaws. They have the best price-quality ratio.

Friendship chainsaws are widely known all over the world.

Ural chainsaws have earned the trust of the population due to their reliability and low price.

Carburetor adjustment

Precise tuning of the fuel equipment allows you to operate the engine in optimal mode, with working traction characteristics and economical fuel consumption.

The adjustment is made with the engine running. By rotating the quantity and quality screws, the carburetor is adjusted to obtain the proper engine thrust, throttle response and idle stability.

The sequence for adjusting the fuel system, chain tension and other useful information is contained in the attached instructions for use.

Operating instructions and maintenance of Poulan chainsaws

Before starting work with new equipment, even if previously known, you should always read the instruction manual. Each company has its own distinctive features in the design and maintenance of a particular tool and to extend the life of chainsaws, and most importantly, for the safety of the operator, it is necessary to carefully study all the nuances.

A distinctive feature of American-made Poulan chainsaws is the presence of only one assembly plant. For this reason, all instructions supplied with the instrument are provided in English only. Russian-language analogues are quite difficult to find.

In order to avoid frequent breakdowns of the Poulan chainsaw, it is important to use high-quality oils. You will receive an example complete with the saw so that you can guide your next purchase.

Pure gasoline cannot be used for fuel (AI-92 is used as the base); it must also be diluted with oil (for two-stroke engines), strictly adhering to the ratios and proportions indicated on the oil packaging. Usually the proportions are 1:20. As lubricating oil, you can use SAE 10W-SAE 30W (all-season), SAE 40W (summer) and SAE 20W (winter).

The first start is very important for the correct and high-quality operation of the chainsaw. It needs to be broken in before use. This means that the saw must be started, placed on a flat surface (ground or floor) and allowed to run for a few minutes.

The big advantage of Poulan chainsaws is that the carburetor is adjusted at the manufacturer’s factory and you get a ready-made tool out of the box, ready for use.

Of course, over time, additional maintenance of the spare part may be necessary, but even a beginner in working with chainsaws can handle this with the help of the key that comes with the tool.

If there is a need to further adjust the carburetor, you must:

1. Start the engine and let it run for 2-3 minutes. Screw in the adjusting bolts until they stop, then back them off one and a half turns.
2. Warm up the engine and adjust idle speed.
3. Check the engine for acceleration. Press the gas trigger - the speed should increase sharply.

Maintenance

For high-quality operation of a chainsaw, you must regularly:

• control the amount of oil and fuel mixture in the tanks;
• check the performance of the brake system, oil supply system, carburetor settings;
• clean filters as needed (air and fuel);
• clean the chainsaw after each use;
• sharpen the chain in a timely manner;
• adjust the mechanisms.

Chain sharpening

There are several ways:

1. Sharpening a chain with a file.
2. Sharpening with electric machines. The most popular machines: Stihl USG, OREGON 32653A, Sadko SCS-85 Pro, Einhell GC-CS 85 E, Forte CT3-104. You can make an electric sharpener yourself, or you can upgrade a regular grinder for these purposes.
3. Sharpening a chain using a grinder

The easiest option would be to use the services of special workshops, where sharpening will be carried out by professionals on special machines.

Advantages and disadvantages

The Poulan chainsaw model 2250 fully complies with the requirements of regulatory standards and the needs of the most demanding users. Its design uses innovations typical of semi-professional tools.

• The saw is designed to last for many years. This is facilitated by the high efficiency of the air purification system, the power reserve and torque of the power unit.
• Users noted the ease of use. Convenient grip, balancing and the presence of a full-fledged vibration damper take the performance and safety of the saw to a new level of quality.

The design of the emergency brake and catcher was also recognized as successful, eliminating injuries in the event of a broken chain or other unusual situation.

Spare parts and consumables are supplied in a wide range. The indirect disadvantage of this model is the lack of information on self-service and repair of the saw, and the rather high cost of motor and chain oils.

Owner reviews

I brought the brand new chainsaw Poulan 2250 series with the expectation of better quality many years ago from a business trip abroad. I just wasted my currency, the local assortment turned out to be no worse. Of the 3 owners of this model I know, not one complained about its poor performance or the discovery of any defects or malfunctions. I use branded oils, so I replaced the piston at the end of the 7th working season. I change tires, drive sprockets and chains as they wear out. Roman Vasilievich

In my free time from studying, I work part-time as a sawyer in a nearby forestry. Professional machines are used by full-time employees; I was assigned a Poulan chainsaw. I began to respect this tool after just a few shifts. The machine is trouble-free, easy to start, feels comfortable in the hands, minimal vibration, even at high air temperatures it runs for 2 or more hours without stopping to cool down. Dimon

When purchasing the Poulan chainsaws themselves, you also receive in the kit:

• a tire of a size specified by a specific model;
• saw chain;
• case for comfortable and safe storage and transportation;
• lubricating oil for the chain and separately for the engine;
• universal key, which is necessary for assembly, repair and maintenance of the chainsaw.

The Poulan company is one of the few that does not have production in China, but assembles its product units in the region of the head office. Thus, Paulan chainsaws are assembled in the USA, in the city of Nashville, where more than 1 million chainsaws with gasoline and electric drive are produced annually.

Poulan chainsaws: equipment

Sometimes in stores you can find Poulan chainsaws made in China or Europe. It is not recommended to purchase such tools, since the only assembly plant is located in the USA. When purchasing a Poulan saw, be sure to pay attention to the markings of the country of origin to protect yourself from purchasing a low-quality fake.

Installing a chainsaw carburetor. Or how not to pay repairmen!

Using a chainsaw makes life much easier even for an amateur, and in some professions this tool is almost indispensable. However, like any relatively complex device, a chainsaw requires periodic maintenance. Due to untimely or inadequate maintenance and due to the impact of both planned and excessive loads, various malfunctions can occur. For professionals, interruptions or unstable operation of the saw reduces work efficiency or can lead to a ruined workday. One of the most common malfunctions is incorrect adjustment of the chainsaw carburetor, which gets lost due to unsuccessful attempts to adjust or switch the adjusting screws for other reasons.

Symptoms of malfunctions and failures that require carburetor adjustment.

The following signs and malfunctions indicate the need for carburetor adjustment:

• the engine starts with deformation and stops almost instantly;
• gasoline consumption is excessively high, the exhaust is too thick, the combustible mixture in the cylinder does not burn completely;
• the factory settings of the chainsaw carburetor were lost (due to vibrations or unsuccessful attempts at adjustment);
• malfunction of the air purification system, which led to debris entering the fuel distribution mechanism;
• significant wear of the piston group. Carburetor adjustment
  in this case acts as a temporary measure.

It is clear that when dirt gets into the fuel system with one installation, the problem cannot be solved. washing is required. If the piston is worn, a major overhaul is required. However, in all these cases the carburetor is also tuned.

Purpose, design and principle of operation of the carburetor.

The carburetor is necessary to prepare the fuel-air mixture for engine power. If the proportions in this mixture are incorrect, engine operation is interrupted. If proportion to the increase in the amount of fuel is not observed, the mixture is said to be supersaturated, if fuel, on the other hand, is unlikely to be present. At work, the engine is both not the best way.

In different chainsaw models, carburetors differ in design, but they are basically similar in operation. The air flow moves at high speed along the air channel. A damper that closes the channel allows you to change the speed of the air stream. The fuel is fed through the atomizer into the channel, where it is mixed with the incoming air, forming a fuel-air mixture. The resulting mixture enters the engine.

The pressure in the float chamber, where the fuel is mixed before mixing, is almost equal to atmospheric pressure. But the air passage creates a vacuum so that fuel is drawn into the air stream. The more the flap opens, the faster the air moves and the amount of fuel increases. engine speed increases. Therefore, it is easy to imagine the principle of a carburetor.

Advantages and disadvantages

The Poulan model 2250 chainsaw continues to meet the regulatory standards and demands of the most powerful contractors around the world. Its design incorporates innovations typical of tools in the professional range.

• The saw is insured for the full term of service. This is due to the high efficiency of the air purification system, the reserve of tension and torque of the power unit.
• Koristuvach emphasized the comfort of the work. The manual retention, balancing and presence of a full-fledged vibration damper takes productivity and operational safety to a new level.

The design of the emergency hook and catcher has also been identified, which prevents injuries when the lance is cut or other non-standard situations occur.

Spare parts and stained glass materials are available in a wide range. An indirect disadvantage of this model is the lack of information for self-service and repair of the saw, due to the high quality of motor and lance oils.
