Features of Champion saws

At the beginning of the XXI century in Europe and Asia for the first time were presented tools for the garden and garden from the manufacturer Champion. Even the first representatives of the lines quickly gained popularity among buyers. Since this is a Russian brand, the products are notable for their low price.

Despite the fact that the equipment is assembled in Russia, all components and peripherals are manufactured in China. They are manufactured in Zomax factories, which are equipped with the latest technology. The manufacturer is strictly concerned with quality control - all products are manufactured under the supervision of highly qualified specialists: operators, engineers and designers.

Today on the market there is a huge range of tools and equipment for various purposes. Champion products are suitable for owners of country houses, while working in the garden or vegetable garden. There are also professional models designed for industrial use.

The Champion company is actively engaged in the production of motor pumps, snow clearing machines, wood splitters, motor cultivators, walk-behind tractors and many other devices. Each representative of the lines is certified in Europe, fully meets today's requirements and justifies its cost.

With the help of Champion electric saws, you can carry out any construction work: build a gazebo, clean a garden or vegetable garden, prepare firewood. The devices are high performance, economical and high quality. For the operation of the unit, only connection to power lines is required.

The manufacturer offers an alternative to chain saws - cordless models. They will come in very handy during a hike or in places far from electricity.

Another feature of Champion electric saws is environmental friendliness. These instruments do not pollute the atmosphere with exhaust gases, do not emit loud noises during operation. To date, the manufacturer has released less than 10 models of electric saws on the market, but this number is enough to meet any customer needs, both in domestic use and in production.

• Champion 318-16... This model is endowed with a modern look and practicality. The engine is highly efficient and able to cope with any domestic tasks.

• Champion 420N-16 - a good solution designed specifically for domestic use.

• Champion 422-18 - high performance electric saw. It can be used both at home and for professional purposes.

• Champion 120-14 - a small-sized device designed for small and medium-sized repair work.

• Champion 324N-18... Semi-professional high-performance model, designed to perform work of increased complexity. The device can be actively used for felling the largest trees.

• Champion 118-14... Small tool with average performance.

The manufacturer does not focus on battery models. Today on the market of Champion saws you can find only one model working from autonomous power supply - Champion CSB360. This unit is equipped with a battery designed for half an hour of continuous operation.The battery is fully charged in 2 hours.

Cordless electric saws are not very powerful and are inefficient. They are inexpensive and can be used in places where a regular chain saw will not do it - leveling hedges, repair work in places far from power grids.

It is necessary to strictly follow the instructions, and observe all safety conditions.

• Before purchasing a device, pay attention to its packaging. Inspect it carefully for damage and breakage. The motor and all wires must be completely insulated.
• Do not use the device if any damage to the insulation of the wiring is found. But it is also impossible to make repairs with your own hands with insulating tape. The filter should be cleaned periodically and the bearings should be replaced.
• Before starting to operate the saw, make sure that the brake is on.

• It is forbidden to work in bad weather conditions: during rain or snow. Water will cause a short circuit or failure of the engine, and also harm human health.
• The tool can be stored in a garage or workshop. It is important that this room is not damp and well ventilated. Check the unit battery periodically. During severe frosts, it is advisable to transfer the instrument to a warm room.
• High temperatures during operation and overloading have a negative effect on the condition of the saw. If the overheating sensor is triggered, it is better to suspend work with the device for a while.
• Check the oil in the tank periodically. It is intended for permanent lubrication of the chain. Even with a minimal decrease in the amount of liquid, it is advisable to add it additionally.

Electric saws are sold in all stores assembled. The buyer only needs to install the cutting part, fill the oil tank, after which the device will be completely ready for use. All Champion products come with a simple tool-free chain tensioner. Even a beginner who does not have any knowledge in this area can install and pull the chain.

There are two ways to tighten the chain. Let's consider the instrumental method.

• First you need to remove the back cover.
• Then the bus is mounted on the splines, and the chain itself is installed on the sprocket and the bus.
• Next, the casing is installed. It should be secured with nuts. It is not recommended to tighten them all the way.
• Take a screwdriver and use the adjusting screw to set the desired tension. Please note that when adjusted correctly, no link in the chain should sag. The cutters should be directed in the direction in which the chain moves.

Now let's look at the toolless way.

• Remove the protective casing.
• Place the bar on the splines and place the chain on top of it.
• Secure the body and cutters with the inner nut.
• Using the outer nut, you need to set the desired tension.
• Secure the cutting head by slowly tightening the inner nut to the base.

Every experienced craftsman can confidently say that the automatic oil supply function plays a big role when working with an electric chain saw.It is widely believed among amateurs that, instead of a special oil, you can use any other. However, this opinion is erroneous.

All equipment designed for work in the garden or vegetable garden is designed only for special lubricants. It is based on an adhesive oil that differs in additives and viscosity index.

The special weight increases the performance of the unit and significantly extends the service life of the attachment. Champion recommends using only special oils Champion BAR & CHAIN, Champion SAE 30, STIHL ForestPlus.

Champion electric saws, like any other technique, have both positive and negative sides.

Pros:

• modern design, ergonomics and balance of the casing;
• high-performance engine running at high speeds;
• the instrument does not harm the atmosphere;
• the price declared by the manufacturer is fully consistent with the quality;
• the device does not make loud sounds.

Minuses:

• weak chain, with intensive work it quickly breaks down;
• not all representatives of the line are equipped with good grip;
• during active operation, the unit gets very hot.

According to reviews on the official website of the manufacturer and on third-party resources, a long service life of the device can be noted. The unit is quite lightweight, quiet, easy to use even when working with one hand. Due to the fact that it is electric, you do not have to spend extra money on engine oil, diesel or gasoline. However, the grip is not the best here. With daily use, it breaks down in less than a year.

Below we will consider the most common breakdowns, possible causes and solutions to the problem.

• The engine stopped starting... Most likely, the problem is a breakdown of the starter, carburetor, or damaged wiring. It is possible that this was triggered by overload protection. Check the cable carefully, or just wait for the instrument to cool down. If the reason is not found, then you will have to inspect the starting mechanism, in extreme cases, repair the engine.
• The chain does not move when ignited... Check if the brake is engaged. If everything is in order with him, then you need to check the clutch. The problem is solved either by repairing or replacing damaged components.
• Sparks appeared... These are brushes burning. It is difficult to diagnose the cause on your own. You need to contact an electrician.
• Unpleasant odor while working... Most likely, the incisors have worn off. You can sharpen the chain or replace it.
