User comment: Chain Saw GZ4000

 

With its power-to-weight ratio and performance, the Zenoah chainsaw is the commercial user's best friend. The GZ4000 is an excellent all-around saw, ideal for cross cutting, as well as limbing and light duty work. The 40.1 cc Strato-Charge engine (http://yiehong.blogspot.com/2014/05/strato-charged-engine.html) produces ultra-low emissions without compromising power. Easy access air filter reduces down-time in the field. Additional features include inertia-activated chain brake, chain catcher, throttle interlock, right hand guard and easily accessible stop switch.

Buying Guide: Chain Saw

When you decide to buy a chainsaw you should naturally consider your own needs first. What do you want it for? How often will you use it? Do you work in the forest every day or do you just need it to cut firewood?

Things to keep in mind when buying a chainsaw:

• Safety is important. Make sure the saw has essential safety features such as kickback protection, chain brake, right hand guard and catcher stud.

• Are both handles adequately protected from vibration? Vibration will quickly cause fatigue.

• Choose a powerful enough saw right from the start. Many people buy an underpowered saw the first time.

• Is the air filter system designed to avoid clogging with sawdust?

• Is the saw easy to maintain? Is there a good user manual?

• Will the saw run on unleaded petrol? Can you use vegetable-based chain oil?

• Can the dealer service your saw? Do they have spare parts and accessories?

• Can the dealer demonstrate the saw? Do they offer useful operating instructions on video and in brochures?

• Can the dealer supply you with the necessary protective equipment?

• Do you want to work indoors and outdoors? If so, buy a good electric saw that is built by professionals.

Buying Guide: Blower

There are various types of blowers, including our handheld and backpack types. With a blower you can do much more than just move leaves: you can also clean up debris, grass clippings, hedge clippings etc.

Things to keep in mind when buying a blower:

 

• The machine should have an efficient vibration-dampening system to minimise vibrations from those parts of the machine that the user comes in contact with.

• The engine should be powerful and easy to start.

• Pay attention to air speed and air flow.

• If you choose a backpack blower, it should have a comfortable and load-reducing harness with hip belt and wide shoulder straps.

Zenoah Japan Strato-Charged Engine

The Strato-Charged engine passed the world's first California Air Resources Board (CARB) the secondary emission control without a catalyst.

Introduced in 1998, our state-of-the-art Strato-Charged® engines are designed with advanced technology that reduces impact on the environment through efficient engine design, increased fuel economy and reduced emissions.

For ten years, this proven technology has delivered maximum performance in a light, rugged design with outstanding features that set it apart from the competition. The Strato-Charged® 2-stroke engine:

• Achieves up to 20% more fuel efficiency than standard 2-stroke engines

• Produces low emissions that meet regulations without the need for a heated, heavy catalytic converter

• Requires no valve adjustments, oil changes or daily oil reservoir level checks

• Generates 15 to 20% more horsepower than a typical 4-stroke or 4-stroke hybrid engine of the same engine displacement size 

Strato-Charged® 2-stroke engines operate at maximum efficiency with just three moving parts. By comparison, 4-stroke or 4-stroke hybrid engines contain as many as 30 moving parts. Strato-Charged® 2-stroke engines are 20 to 25% lighter per same engine size as compared to 4-strokes or 4-stroke hybrids, resulting in much less operator fatigue. Engines with a high power to weight ratio and a high-power output per engine cc size are classified as high-performance engines, and these are the only type of engines made by ZENOAH.
