Use Special features
Before use, be sure to read the description of the safety rules for using the Carver RSG-262 chainsaw. 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.
Beware of exhaust fumes, they are poisonous.
Check chain integrity and tension before operation. If everything is in order, the chain will be pulled in freely by no more than 4-6 mm. If worn links or defects are found, replace the chain. 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.
Chainsaw maintenance
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.
If you plan to work with the Carver 262 saw, it is absolutely impossible:
- Drive only on gasoline, as the engine will quickly fail due to insufficient lubrication.
- Use diesel fuel as rubber and plastic parts may be damaged.
- Fill with oil that is suitable for 4-stroke engines, as the outlet port may clog and the piston rings may bind.
- Replenish expired mixtures.

The main faults of the chainsaw
Modern technology pleases with its performance and functionality, but these qualities affect its design, which is difficult to repair. If you follow the rules of operation, most breakdowns can be prevented. However, the owner can fix minor problems himself.
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.

Owner Feedback
Alexander, 39 years old, Astrakhan
“I would like to give a positive rating, but it won’t work because the quality of the Chinese instrument leaves a lot to be desired. Immediately after the burglary it stopped working. It turned out that the piston and cylinder were defective. I did not wear it in the middle as it violated the integrity before the warranty period expired.
Advantages: easy start, low price
Disadvantages: Poor processing quality.
Andrey, 56 years old, Kiev
“The saw suits me perfectly and meets all requirements. Compared to Stihl, it clearly gains in ease of introduction. Made some changes: swapped tires and messed up the chain. Das Ergebnis ist erfreulich.”
