Electric saw Parma for work in the country

Both amateurs and professional workers today cannot do without quality tools. The Parma electric saw has proven itself well in terms of reliability and durability. However, to get the best results, there are some important factors to consider when choosing a power tool.

general information

Power saws have several advantages over petrol models... The main ones are:

• environmental friendliness:
• less weight;
• low vibration;
• make less noise;
• easy to learn and operate.

At the same time, as with any electric tool, an electric saw requires access to a power source. This can be a significant problem when working on large garden plots. Other disadvantages include dependence on weather conditions. In conditions of high humidity and rain, the unit may be damaged. Another feature of chain saws, including Parma, is the need to take regular breaks from work every quarter of an hour.

The Inkar-Parma plant has been producing electric saws for 10 years. Thanks to high-strength materials, whose characteristics successfully compete with Western counterparts, as well as prices that are several times lower than European ones, the Russian production of saws is in demand among consumers.

Modifications Parma-M and Parma 2-M

Power, simplicity and low price - these are the three main advantages of the Parma-M electric saw. Perm craftsmen have done a good job on the device, ensuring the reliability and stability of work. It is widely used in woodworking factories and workshops. With a relatively high power of 2 kW and a solid body, the saw will definitely serve you for a long time.

Unfortunately, this model does not apply to modified ones. It does not have an automatic lubrication mechanism, as well as protection in case of hand slipping. You can see a photo of an old-style Parma electric saw below:

Thus, despite the build quality and monolithic design, these two disadvantages prevent inexperienced people from working safely and productively with the saw.

In a more advanced modification of the 2-M, the manufacturer took into account the shortcomings of the previous model and improved them. The electric saw Parma 2-M has a chain brake mechanism, which significantly increases the safety of working with it. There is also a button to protect against unintended start and a fuse in case of sudden power surges. Automatic lubrication of the saw unit is also a plus for the 2-M model.

The engine power of 2000 W and the design of the working chain allows the use of the tool for logging in small volumes, for all kinds of joinery and carpentry work and sawing wood in any direction.

Nevertheless, both models carry significant weight. The complete set weighs 9 kg, so untrained hands will have a hard time at first.

Instructions and specifications

The package includes instructions. The Parma electric saw is easy to learn and operate, so you can use it immediately after reading a simple manual.

Do not forget to tighten the chain in time, as there is no automatic tightening in the M and 2-M modifications.

We also recommend getting an extension cord, the standard cord is quite short. For carrying, all types of Parma electric saws are unscrewed with a hex key.Having removed the tire, you can easily transport it, the kit does not take up much space.

Always place the unit on the unit before starting up. We also recommend that you disconnect it from the power supply during inactivity and breaks in work.

Technical characteristics of the saw Parma 2-M:

• set weight - 9 kg;
• operating voltage - 220V;
• automatic chain brake - yes;
• power - 2000 W;
• tire length - 40 cm;
• number of links - 57;
• automatic lubrication - yes.

Electric or gasoline saw?

The answer to this question is pretty simple. If you plan to harvest timber on an industrial scale, as well as work in high humidity conditions, then you should choose the option on gasoline. These saws are more powerful and allow you to work almost without interruption for several hours. Moreover, they are mobile compared to electric ones.

The saw is ideal for indoor use. It costs an order of magnitude cheaper and does not require as many care manipulations as gasoline.

Parma electric saws are perfect for any summer cottage work. Sawing wood for kindling a bath, or cutting a tree up to 35 cm thick, will not be difficult. Take care of the power supply with an extension cord, and also fill the oil tank in time, from where the lubricant will be distributed automatically. If you monitor the condition of the instrument and protect it from rain, it will serve faithfully for many years.
