They are perfect for household use and ordinary woodworking tasks; they have similar technical characteristics, namely the same engine size and tire length. The fuel consumption of the 140th model is 930 ml of fuel per hour, while the 135th consumes 1.1 l/hour.

General characteristics of chainsaws

Chainsaws are portable machines that usually have a two-stroke engine.

The tool consists of two blocks. One contains the fuel tank and handles, the second contains the engine and saw part.

This design is due to an attempt to reduce the vibration received by the user.

The saw set consists of links and is closed in a ring. Usually it comes with a chainsaw. The chain is attached to a bar, which is a metal plate.

Its standard pitch is 0.325, 3/8 or 0.404 inches. The longer the stroke, the more aggressive the saw is.

There is a pattern between the size and power of the engine and the headset used.

With an engine volume of 45 - 55 cm³, it is optimal to use a chain with a pitch of 0.325 inches. A 3/8 unit headset will require a more powerful engine.

Saw bars vary in size. The longer it is, the greater the load on the engine. Therefore, the manufacturer's recommended size should be used.

The main indicator of a chainsaw is the power of its cylinder. When choosing a tool, consider the purposes for which it will be used. A household chainsaw is sufficient for preparing firewood and cutting knots. For cutting hard and large-diameter wood, choose more powerful models.

Fuel and oil, lubricants for Husqvarna 135

Recommended type of oil for creating a fuel mixture: Husqvarna HP 2-stroke oil. The mixing ratio for the fuel mixture is 50:1. Type of gasoline for refueling chainsaws: AI-92, AI-95. Use genuine Husqvarna oils to lubricate the chain and bar. Lubrication frequency: The chain and bar must be lubricated constantly while the chainsaw is in working order and while it is being used.

According to technical standards, the fuel mixture is replaced after break-in, that is, after 5 hours of using the tool, and then as fuel is consumed. An oil change is also performed after break-in and subsequently every 40-50 hours of operation (approximately once every 90 days).

Duration of operation of the Husqvarna 135 chainsaw

The Husqvarna 135 chainsaw is designed for 30-40 minutes of operation with a full fuel tank. The rate of fuel consumption is not the same and depends on the operating mode, the number of engine revolutions, the load on the tool and the frequency of turning the engine on and off during the sawing process. During break-in, less fuel is consumed because the chainsaw is not working at full capacity. At the end of the run-in, consumption may increase.

The main malfunctions of the Husqvarna 135 chainsaw and how to fix them

Table 1. Main malfunctions of the Husqvarna 135 chainsaw.

Preparatory stages, launch

First of all, the operator of a Husqvarna 135 chainsaw must correctly prepare a fuel mixture of 92 gasoline and original Husqvarna oil for two-stroke engines in a ratio of 50/1 (0.1 liter of oil is taken per 1 liter of fuel).

We offer the following algorithm of actions that allows you to properly prepare gas-powered tools for work:

• chain saw assembly;
• headset installation;
• tensioning the chain mechanism;
• refueling a chainsaw;
• filling chain oil (original Husqvarna or ER 90 transmission);
• starting the unit;
• checking the operation of the saw at idle speed (carburetor adjustment may be necessary);
• checking the brake operation;
• checking the lubrication supply.

Run-in

The period of reduced loads lasts no more than 10 hours. The rotating and moving parts of the tool gradually grind against each other, as a result, the working life of the chainsaw increases.

Reviews of the Husqvarna 135 chainsaw

Reviews of Husqvarna 135 should be divided into two categories. From users and from those who repair them. As for the latter, everything is in order. A large number of spare parts, both original and analogues, good reliability and maintainability (unlike many Chinese “analogs”) make the saw a welcome guest in any workshop. Moreover, she gets there quite rarely. However, it also has disadvantages from a repair point of view. First of all, there are a large number of fragile plastic parts that, if they break, are difficult to replace.

Chainsaw users note ease of use, low weight, a very convenient chain tensioner, and convenient control handles, which, unlike the calm ones, you are not afraid of breaking as advantages.

In total, the sites contain dozens of reviews from Husqvarne 135, but most of them are positive. There are also negative reviews indicating shortcomings. In some cases, the chainsaw quickly broke down before it was even out of warranty. Having a warranty repair or replacement will help save the buyer from negativity in such a situation.
