kombi chain attachment review
The saw head has been good so far. With its mini sized chain, all the tolerances in the chain case are tight. I thought the chain cover might get plugged more often, but i can't yet say that's the case so far. The single nut on the case is attached so you can't loose it. Echo uses 2 simple nuts, so we have lost them in the field. The chain tension is easy to adjust and designed pretty much the same as there regular saws.
Jstpssng, Can't say we've had the chain pinched in a branch yet but that does happen to us now and then. We've only ran about 1 gallon of fuel through this machine so far. We have had it pinched in ground logs but no ill effects. I can't say the chain gets dull quicker or not, but it does need to be touched up with a file over the course of the day. Our type of work is hard on chains, so that is normal for our chains. I will complain about finding these super small, 1/8th files for sharpening it.. So far, the only supply we can locale for them is Sthil! The chain seems to stay on the bar fine.
The 1/4 turn oil cap has worked fine so far. So as of today, the saw head is a keeper. More review to come later......
