Features of the Carver RSG-246 chainsaw
All the feedback and requests from consumers were taken into account in the design features of the Carver 246 chainsaw. Separately, we can note the excellent balance, anti-vibration design and low noise level. All this allows the operator to work comfortably for a long time.
The Carver 246 chainsaw has a simple starting system and the chain is automatically lubricated during operation. Despite the weight of 6.9 kg, the saw looks compact and the handles are ergonomically positioned to make the operator’s work easier. Access to the filter, as well as the fuel system, is as convenient as possible. There are no difficulties with the self-tensioning of the chain and setting up the mechanism that sets it in motion.
Modern technical characteristics are perfectly combined with the classic design of the saw, which is aimed at user-friendliness.
With a chainsaw
Be sure to read the safety manual for the Carver RSG-246 chainsaw before use. Wearing special protective clothing and anti-vibration gloves is required to work safely with the tool.
It is necessary to start the saw at a distance of at least 3 m from the place of refueling.
Check chain tension before use. If everything is in order, the chain will be pulled in freely by no more than 4-6 mm. After installing a new chain, it is advisable to check the tension before fully breaking it in. The manual describes in detail how to start a cold and a warm engine.
Services
It is recommended to use only special oil for petrol two-stroke engines for lubrication. Filled with 2 octane gasoline. It is recommended not to use inferior gasoline as this may result in premature saw failure. The proportions in which the fuel mixture must be mixed are indicated on the oil packaging.
It is strictly forbidden to use the Carver 246 saw:
- On a gasoline, because due to insufficient lubrication, the engine quickly fails.
- Refuel with diesel fuel, as rubber and plastic parts can be damaged.
- Fill in oil that is not suitable for 2-stroke engines, as the outlet port may be clogged and the piston rings may seize.
- Pour mixtures that have expired, i.e. prepared a month ago. The most suitable chainsaw oil is SAE 10W-30, which is suitable for all seasons. In summer you can use SAE 30-40 and in winter SAE 20.

major fault
Despite the fact that modern technology is characterized by the complexity of the design, repairs can be made
independently possible. If you follow the rules of operation, most breakdowns can be prevented. The most common breakdowns are:
- The engine does not start. To eliminate this problem, it is necessary to check the candle or replace it with a new one, check the quality of the fuel liquid or replace it with a new one.
- Poor performance can be due to poor fuel mixture, clogged filters, or poor carburetor adjustment.
- The saw unit is not lubricated. The lubrication channels and holes on the saw and bar should be checked.
