Hopper gasoline and electric saws. Preparing for work in the company. reviews
In the network, you can find information that the company “Khoper” was founded in Volgograd in 1991, where devices under this brand are produced. However, this does not quite correspond to reality. Indeed, in 1991, a company with that name appeared in a city on the Volga, but it was engaged in investment projects and went down in the history of Russia as one of the most scandalous financial pyramids.
Whether the manufacturer of gardening tools is this project, we do not know. However, it is safe to say that the “Nadezhda” chainsaw, like other brand-name equipment, is made in China. In addition, the manufacturer’s official website states that Hope is a Chinese brand. It is worth noting the extremely wide range. In the catalog of Hoper-Shop.ru there are various models of gasoline and electric saws, power tillers, power equipment and other power tools.
It is worth noting a fairly high quality of electric and chain saws. They are made at the factory under the control of foreign specialists using imported components. At the same time, the company’s management maintains a fairly balanced price guide.
Today you can buy a Hoper chainsaw at a price of 3,500 rubles.
Features of the Hoper model:
- High-quality chainsaw assembly using Western European and Japanese components;
- High reliability of the tool, long overhauls and good maintenance;
- Extensive network of service centers, large quantity of original spare parts in the market.

The model is equipped with a 12-inch guide bar and a 45-tooth saw chain. The electric saw is equipped with an automatic lubrication system and an instant-stop chain brake.

Acquisition and preparation for use of the chainsaw Khoper
- Purchasing a gas or electric chainsaw firm Hoper, make sure that it is complete and has all accompanying documents: product passports, warranty coupons and company manuals;
- the seller’s requirement to make sure that the engine is in working order after a test run;
- Before starting the tool, carefully read the instruction manual and study the rules of operation of the devices and safety regulations, if you work with chainsaws.
- Assemble the chain saw according to the recommendations in the chain tensioning manual.
Important: When tensioned correctly, neither limb is affected by its own weight and the saw chain spins freely on the bar without stopping or making unusual noises.
- Prepare fuel mixture and fill up the gasoline engine, pour oil into the automatic chain lubricator in the tank.
- Check the body of the chainsaw Hopper for oil or fuel a-o- boat if recognized, leaks.
- Before you plug in the saw, check that the electrical outlet, power cord and extension cord are in good condition. If defective, replace the outlet or cable.
- Engage the chain stop brake and start the engine.
Fuel and Lubricants
Both electric chainsaws and chain saws are equipped with automatic chain lubrication, which requires high quality chain oil. Be warned at once – if you want to take care of your tool and prolong its life, do not use different replacement, spindle and waste as a lubricant. It is not recommended to pour transformer and diesel oils into the system.
List of recommended chain oils for l-hoper electric and chain saws:
- Hopper: chain oil;
- Stihl HP;
- Husqvarna;
- Oleo-Mac Prosint 2T;
- Champion Jaso Fd.
Electric magic sayings are powered by a regular budget 220-volt shutterbug, but a chainsaw requires a fuel mixture that is based on high-quality high-octane AI 92-95 gasoline. The fuel is available in a 1/50 ratio, meaning a liter of gasoline is mixed with 20 milliliters of motor oil. According to the manufacturer’s statement, the engine does not require any special running-in. However, we recommend running out 5-7 fuel tanks in economy mode without overheating the engine or sawing thick tree trunks. When preparing fuel for your chainsaw it is important to use only high quality engine oils for air-cooled two-stroke engines.
- Mineral oil for Hooper two-stroke engines;
- Echo Premium B&C;

- Oleo-Mac Polar Lubricant;

Reviews of owners of gasoline and electric saws Khoper
Nikolai Skachkov, 43, Zelenograd:
Last summer I bought a house with a high landing. Of course, I had to clean, repair from bushes and old trees. In order not to spin a lot of money, I bought a hoper-popper RS-16/2000. In general, a good tool is: quality assembly, good plastic on the body, automatic lubrication system works properly, and the engine can not be called low-power. But as any economical tool, this electric saw has its disadvantages. First of all, it is annoying that the engine warms up quickly: 12-15 minutes of intensive work and you have to turn the engine off. It is impossible not to mention the low quality of the saw head set: This remark applies both to the chain and the bar.
Victor Pethinsky, 39 years old, Tambov region:
Khoper 3816 Farmer I have the second year, but some impressions of this tool have already formed. I go out for different types of work with the chainsaw, the currency of trees, up to 70 centimeters in diameter – no problems. Once I had to start the engine when it was 17 degrees below zero in three to four minutes. The anti-vibration system and the plastic also have no claims. From the disadvantages of chainsaw I consider the excessive sound (really more than 110 decibels), large for such capacity, weight and weak saw. I have long ago changed the bar and chain, but the weight and noise remain.
Advantages of the chainsaw: price, reliable engine, start in any temperature, effective shock absorbers, quality plastic in the body;
Disadvantages: low weight, very noisy, the bar and chain are made of bad materials.
