If you need a chainsaw to make a good store of firewood, take down branches & cut small to medium logs, this attractive & great quality chainsaw is well featured, well built & surprisingly reasonably priced for it’s power & performance. Featuring a 2-stroke, 45cc Mountfield engine, driving a 40.5cm chain bar & producing 1.50kw of cutting power, the Mountfield MC846 has a pump primer, a recoil start & electric ignition to provide easy & quick starting, as well as a sprocket nose at the end of the bar, designed to reduce friction & give the chain a longer working life, while improving cutting performance. All chainsaws should be checked before use to see that chain tension is correct, & keeping the chain at the right tension is imperative for safety & efficiency so the included side chain tensioner is an invaluable feature. Just as vital is sufficient lubrication to the chain & the MC846 features both auto & manually adjustable chain lubrication- a feature very hard to find on chainsaws in this price bracket. Safety features include the double acting chain brake, designed to protect both operator & machine. It can be operated both by inertia
- so a ‘kickback’ would engage it
- & also by using the lever with your hand or wrist. Peace of mind is provided by the twelve-month manufacturers guarantee.
