Domestic chainsaws are rarely such good value for your money or come with such a pedigree in this price bracket. This model is European made, supremely reliable & finest top quality, offering high performance & the kind of build quality that normally comes much higher up the price spectrum. Powered by a 38.3cc, Mountfield 2-stroke engine, producing 1.7kw of power, with electronic ignition for reliability, the MC3816 has a primer pump to prime the carburettor, particularly useful with a 2-stroke engine where the oil/fuel mixture is viscous, assisting starting efficiency. The guide bar on this model is 40 centimetres long, so ideal for making a good sized store of firewood, or limbing & pruning small to medium-sized trees. The chain pitch is. 325 inches & there is a sprocket nose, which helps ease the moving chain around the bend at the tip of the bar, lengthens the chain’s working life & makes the cut smoother & more efficient. A double acting chain brake is fitted for operator safety. This serves a dual purpose. The front h&-guard protects the forward hand from the moving chain, & also serves as a manual chain brake. Added to this, if there is kickback & the guard knocks against the h&, the chain stops. A chain catcher is fitted as well, to deal with potential chain derailment. The weight of the Mountfield MC3816 Petrol Chainsaw is a comfortably manageable 4.5kg (excluding chain & bar) & the balance & power to weight ratio are very good, making the saw easy to use for longer. The handles are comfortable with a wraparound rear handle, & the underneath of the chainsaw is flat, so it can be put down safely without rolling off, for safety & convenience. This premium quality chainsaw comes at a fraction of the price you would expect &
