Characteristics of the manufacturer, basic equipment
Chainsaw Champion Made in China at the ZOMAX factory. All Champion devices are made here, although the brand is of Russian origin. The fact that chainsaws are made in China has not affected their quality in any way. All Champion devices are manufactured under strict controls and certified in Europe.
The excellent quality of the goods manufactured is also aided by the fact that Champion works closely with a number of German, American and Japanese companies, from whom a wide range of components and parts are sourced, particularly engines and carburetors.

Assembly and work preparation
Before starting work, it is necessary to mount the saw unit and adjust the chain tension. This is a simple process that does not take much time, however, the performance and maintainability of your saw largely depends on the correctness of its implementation.
When putting on the chain, you should pay attention to the position of the cutting edges of the saw teeth – they should be in the direction of chain movement. Correct chain tension is also important – check regularly and adjust if necessary.
Fuels and lubricants
The fuel mixture for the Champion 142 chainsaw engine is made on the basis of high-octane gasoline AI92-95 and a special engine oil for air-cooled two-stroke engines.
When preparing the mixture, first pour gasoline into a measuring container, and then add oil. We prepare fuel in the following proportions:
- For chainsaw break-in: 1/25;
- Normal working mode: 1/50;
To avoid breakdowns and unnecessary repair costs, we recommend filling the Champion chainsaw’s automatic lubrication system with special chain oils.

Owner feedback
Alexander Bely, 55 years, Pskov region:
I’ve been using Champion for the third year. Sawn through a bundle of hardwood. The flight is normal – everything works fine, it takes off in half a turn. Economical saw perfect for my household needs.

The Champion chainsaw worked for a year and a half, then malfunctions began – it starts and stalls. Adjusting the carburetor didn’t help, had to be replaced. Now everything works great again.
