PackForge 22 Inch Petrol Chainsaw, 58 CC

What is a 22 inch petrol chainsaw?

Inside the housing, a two-stroke, air-cooled 58 cc engine produces about 2.2 kW. When the throttle opens, a clutch engages and whips the chain along the 22 inch (approx. 550 mm) bar. A small pump feeds oil from the 260 ml chain oil tank onto the bar, so the links slide without overheating. The main tank holds about 550 ml of petrol blended with 2T oil.

This saw suits orchard renewal, cutting up trunks that fell in a storm, sizing logs at a timber yard and stocking firewood for winter. The long bar gets through thick limbs and trunks in fewer passes. For grass and thin scrub, the 31 CC side pack brush cutter is the safer tool. Keep safety boots, gloves, ear muffs, a helmet and a face screen ready before the saw arrives.

Cross-cutting a log on the 58 cc saw – 4 steps

1. 1
   Fill both tanksPour the petrol and 2T oil blend into the 550 ml fuel tank, then top up the 260 ml chain oil tank fully.
2. 2
   Check chain and kitConfirm the chain is sharp and correctly tensioned on the 22 inch bar. Put on head, face, ear, hand and foot protection.
3. 3
   Start on the groundStart the engine with the saw resting flat on firm ground, well clear of your legs, then take a firm two-hand grip.
4. 4
   Cut with controlLet the chain reach full speed before it meets the wood. Keep the bar tip away from other logs to avoid kickback.
