No warranty unfortunately, that is the only disadvantage of importing saws.

No warranty as mentioned but if insurance is covering it buy one in Australia.

homelite eks 1400 chainsaw

I got a homelite eks 1400 chainsaw for free.

I decided to fix it up for mum to prune her fruit trees.

The chain was blunt junk so I got a Carlton chain for it.

The bar did not seem to lube much at all, eventually the chain got some shine on it but not happy with it.

I cut biscuit of my hard as cement test log that I have used for other saws.

I deliberately tried to make it kick back to test it and all I did was unplug it.

I tried to do a plunge cut and ruined the bar.

The saw has now bee over capitalised and has a 14 inch mini stihl bar on it.

The old bar had no oil holes drilled into it.

The old bar was made of Kr@P it was a solid tip soft as

Photos and a short video to follow your amusement

Looking for a little maintenance advice, over the weekend I had to do some cutting in a bloody cold river, some of the logs we partially under water, which meant the bar went under too, spraying water everywhere etc etc, cutting was a success. Anything in particular I need to do to make sure the saw is not going to have any long term issues ? Rust? I pulled the clutch cover, cleaned out all the wet chips, ran it without the cover, bolted all back together, wiped it down and ran it some more.

Ask Andrew (Stillman441), he's the master at saw polishing!

Tracy down on her parent's farm doing their wool classing as per normal. Zoe down there too so I'm batching it. Might even finally get around to installing a carb kit and crank seals on a customer's 010AV.
For some reason dirty dishes seem to be piling up and clothes seem to stay wrinkled. For the life of me I can't work it out?
Have fun with the satellite installs. Hope it's above -5°C
