Features and characteristics of electric saws "Parma"

The electric saw "Parma" is well known to the Russian consumer. Today, the eponymous enterprise, founded almost 40 years ago, is engaged in the production of construction power tools and professional welding equipment.

Electric saws "Parma" are produced in two types, each of which has its own design features, purpose and performance. In this case, we are talking about proven and reliable chain models and equally robust disc samples. The first ones replaced the once popular gasoline appliances and borrowed the main components and assemblies from them.

Such models are arranged quite simply: they consist of a durable body with a built-in electric motor, a saw bar equipped with a cutting chain, a tensioner and a chain lubrication system.

The principle of operation of Parma chain saws is to transfer torque from the engine to the cutting chain using a gearbox and a drive sprocket... Simultaneously with the engine, the oil pump starts, which supplies lubricant from the oil reservoir to the tire and keeps the moving parts of the tool in working order. Unlike petrol models, Parma electric saws do not have a clutch, carburetor and air filters, which is why they require minimal maintenance and do not need to be adjusted.

All models of Parma electric saws are equipped with a chain brake that turns off the engine when the tires come in contact with solid objects.... The brake activates a protective guard mounted in front of the operating handle. When hitting a nail, the saw is thrown up, and the operator involuntarily hits the protective shield. In this case, the engine is turned off instantly, so it is impossible to get injured from contact with the cutting element.

In addition, many devices have a soft start functionwhich protects the motor winding from overheating and prolongs its life. The chain saws also include a chain tensioner, which is operated both with a special handle and with a wrench.

The high demand for circular and electric chain saws "Parma" is due to a number of important advantages of these devices.

• Unlike their gasoline counterparts, electric saws are compact and lightweight. This is due to the lack of a fuel tank, carburetor and air filter system in their design. In addition, the cost of electricity is significantly lower than the cost of gasoline. If by this criterion we compare electric models with accumulator devices, then here too the palm belongs to the power tool. Such saws, due to the absence of batteries in them, weigh much less, which is why it is much more convenient to work with them.
• Compared to chainsaws, electric models have no cold start problem. This greatly simplifies the use of the saw and eliminates the need for additional measures to warm up the engine.
• Electric saws "Parma" are distinguished by their high environmental friendliness, as well as low noise and vibration levels, which allows them to be used in closed rooms without restriction.
• Due to the domestic origin of electric saws, there are no difficulties with the purchase of spare parts, as well as with repair and maintenance.

However, like any other electric tool, Parma products also have drawbacks. These include, first of all, the complete volatility of the models, which imposes a number of restrictions on their use.

The second, no less significant disadvantage is prohibiting the use of a power tool in the rain or in high humidity conditions... Failure to follow these limits may result in electrical injury or damage to the instrument.

The third disadvantage of electric saws is the need to take five-minute breaks every 15-20 minutes of work... This is due to the high load on the engine and the risk of premature overheating.

The range of Parma electric saws is represented by chain and disc models.

• Among the chain saws, the electric saw "Parma-M", which is a reliable and proven device. The device is equipped with a 2 kW motor, which is a good indicator for devices of this class. The weight of the saw is 5.6 kg, the length of the bar is 40 cm, and the number of links on it reaches 57 pieces. The bar, chain and drive sprocket are continuously lubricated during operation, which significantly increases their resource and extends their service life. The 100 ml oil barrel is equipped with a special window that allows visual control of the lubricant level. The device is also equipped with a key for tightening the chain, a plastic cover for the tire, a set of additional brushes and an instruction manual in Russian. Parma-M costs 4,436 rubles.
• Of the disk models, consider separately the saw "Parma" 200 D 02.004.00003... The device is equipped with a 2 kW motor and has a saw blade diameter of 20 cm. The tool is designed to perform longitudinal and cross cuts, both straight and oblique (at an angle of 45 degrees). The weight of the device reaches 7.1 kg, and the length of the electric wire is 1.8 m. The maximum cutting depth is 6.5 cm, which allows you to cut not only chipboard, plywood and sheet materials, but also work with wooden boards and blocks. The saw is complete with a blade replacement wrench, a ruler, a front handle, a set for permanent installation and an instruction manual. Such a device costs 4,283 rubles.

Circular or circular saws "Parma" are modern carpentry tools and are widely used in construction, repair and in everyday life. Unlike chain models, they do not have long, protruding tires and are compact, lightweight and highly ergonomic.

There is also nothing complicated in the design of Parma circular saws.The device consists of a robust plastic case, a collector-type asynchronous electric motor and a saw blade enclosed in a protective cover at the top and bottom. The saw is equipped with a comfortable handle with a switch located on it, a lock button and a regulator of the working shaft rotation speed. In addition, the device is equipped with a front stop handle and a parallel guide for more precise cutting.

Before proceeding with the selection of "Parma" electric saws, it is necessary to determine how much work is to be done with the help of the tool. So, if logging or industrial production of lumber is supposed, then the power tool is not an assistant in such work. Here you will need to buy a chainsaw that can work for several hours without interruption.

However, in this case, it is necessary to take into account what they are planned to be used for. For example, if it is often necessary to cut firewood for kindling a bath or fireplace, then it is better to choose a chain model. It should also be purchased for pruning dry branches and for other types of work where special sawing accuracy is not required.

If the tool is purchased to perform repair or construction work, then you definitely need to choose a disk model... In addition, some Parma circulars have the ability to connect a chip sucker, which allows you to keep the workplace clean.

Operation of "Parma" electric saws should be carried out taking into account some simple rules, the observance of which will make working with the device comfortable and safe.

• Before using a new chain saw, it must be properly assembled. To do this, put on a saw headset, pull on the chain, fill the oil barrel and, according to the instructions, carry out a test run.
• Before connecting the electric saw to the network, make sure that the electrical wire and plug are intact.
• Always disconnect the tool from the power source when checking the chain tension.
• It is necessary to timely clean the ventilation holes of the saw and monitor the oil level in the tank. During operation, the chain is constantly lubricated, so the lubrication supply must be carefully monitored.
• It is not recommended to open the case of circular saws on your own, disassemble the motor and change the tension springs in chain models. Disassembly and repair of such devices should be carried out only in service centers, with the exception of minor malfunctions that are clearly spelled out in the manual and can be eliminated independently.

Sometimes it happens that when the device is turned on, the engine does not turn the chain. Cause often consists of an engaged chain brake, which you just need to disable. If the problem persists, then most likely the engine is out of order.

The second common problem is dry chain... This may be due to a lack of lubrication in the reservoir or clogged oil supply channels.

And the third frequent breakdown is long chain stop... In this case, the reason most likely lies in the problems of the friction clutch, which requires contacting the service center.
