Fuel and Lubricants and Engine Performance
Your chain saw is equipped with an air-cooled, two-stroke gasoline engine. To lubricate it, you add motor oil to the A92-95 gasoline. For engine operation a fuel mixture is used, prepared in the oil/gasoline ratio = 1/25.
Running-in of StAVR chainsaw is carried out in two stages. First it is necessary to prepare the mixture in the ratio 1/25 in the tank and to do it with a regular bite from 25 to 30 seconds.
Important: It is forbidden to run the engine only at idle. It is also unacceptable to run the engine without a fuel cut.
In the second stage of the run the fuel mixture should be made in the ratio 1/40 (as specified in the manual) and run in economy mode 7-9 fuel tanks.
Important: Running in economy mode ensures that the operator does not see thick protocols and does not allow the engine to overheat.
Do not forget to recharge the batteries. For this purpose a special adhesive oil with such a viscosity index is used, which ensures reliable protection of the sawmill in all temperature conditions. It is forbidden to fill the system with diesel and transformer oil, disgusting and waste fluid.

Owner reviews
Semyon Kruchinin, 43, Altai Territory:
Bought a chainsaw PKB-50/2400 m for cutting firewood and for all sorts of budgetary needs. For two years I went to the woods with it, sawed firewood at home and helped the neighbors. In general, I am satisfied with the tool. Starts out normal, the saw colormetal from Oregon is pretty good quality. No problems – the vibration is very felt, or I have a defective tool, or it is it winded.
Vladimir Pimonkin, 49 years old, Tver region:
I bought the chainsaw as a Russian, but the passport says that it is made in China. I was not particularly upset, because the price of the Stavr chainsaw corresponds to the price of a normal Chinese saw. A good engine, normal plastic on the body, I am surprised by the quality bar and chain in the basic set. As for the disadvantages, I do not like the tensioner – it is too unlovely, and this model is very loud without headphones, that you can not work.
Advantages: price, quality sawmill, reliable engine, durable plastic on the body;
