Hyundai 52cc Long Reach Petrol Pole Saw/Pruner/Chainsaw 26cm Bar & Up to 2.7m Reach, Anti-Vibration, Triple Split Shaft with 3 Year Warranty

Lots of negative comments on this item but I still bought it to see for my self. I’ve had no problems at all starts first time and a excellent machine. Value for money and does it job really well.

Tiresome on the right hand pressing the safety button and holding the trigger at the same time for someone elderly. Hubby managed though. Cuts well and has a good reach.

I bought this product relying on Hyundai's reputation. It worked well on the first two occasions, though I doubt if the engine ran for more than 30 minutes in total. I tried to use it today and, though it would start, the engine would not run properly even when warmed up. It would not rev and petered out repeatedly. It was not possible to cut anything. The fuel mixture is correct and the chain runs freely. Very disappointed after two or three months of ownership and very little use.

Machine was too heavy above shoulders didn't use sent back refunded the money for the purchase but not the postage which was very expensive as I was asked to return through recorded post. Very disappointed with the company.

I needed a pole saw for my large apple tree and researched the market. This machine is approximately 1/4 the price of the petrol pole saws by well known German and Swedish manufacturers and also cheaper than battery powered pole saws (which have limited run time).The assembly is relatively straight forward in that only the handle needs to be attached. However, attaching the handle is quite tedious as 2 of the 4 screws are obstructed in such a way that they must be undone and tightened in multiple small turns with the supplied Allen key.The starting instructions could be much better. The instructions say to pull out the choke and then pull the starting cord and repeat until the engine starts. In fact, if the engine does not start within 4 to 6 pulls it will just end up completely flooded and fail to start with the choke pulled out. What the instructions should say is: prime the engine, pull out the choke and try to start by pulling the cord briskly 4-6 times times. If it starts, engage the throttle (which automatically disengages the choke). If it does not start after 4-6 pulls, engage the throttle to disengage the choke and then pull the cord again with the choke off. It will then almost certainly start fine. This is not a fault with this machine and is common to most 2-stroke garden machinery when starting from cold.The machine is heavy and should be used with the supplied harness which needs to be properly adjusted. Obviously do this without the engine running and it helps to have an assistant.The fuel tank is large and a fill from the supplied fuel/oil mixing bottle fills the tank less than half full.The machine has a tendency to stall from fuel starvation at certain angles if the fuel tank is less than half full but does not stall if the tank is full. This is quite annoying.The saw blade cuts well and remember to run the engine at speed before advancing the blade to the branch to be cut.There is a tendency for the area around the chain sprocket to become clogged with chips of wood in a gungy oily mess. This means you may have to remove the sprocket cover and clean this area out quite often as you work depending on the size of the job. It will need to be cleaned up before storing the machine anyway.All in all this is a very good machine for the price and the minor niggles are acceptable. It does the job!If buying this machine remember you need chain oil, 2-stroke semi-synthetic oil (to mix with the fuel) and of course fuel. Factor in that you absolutely must have adequate PPE before using this machine (hard hat, ear defenders, eye protection, gloves, chainsaw chaps or trousers and decent boots). Better safe than sorry.

I've had this saw for 2+ years and have finally taken the time to compile a review. Having used this saw perhaps 4 times in 2 years for a total of a few hours I've been through 2 pull start assemblies. They cant handle the pull force to get the saw started. I've just given up on it as its out of warranty now. You get sent a new part, fit it then it fails again.Id recommend buying from a more reputable brand or you will spend a weekend kicking this think around.

Great piece of kitStarts easy well balanced good quality for the price very happy with my purchase

Really good quality well made product heavier than I thought it would be when fully extended but none the less doing the job well
