holzforma g288 unboxing and inspection

[@rubentrujillo2013]

The crank shaft opening to grease the clutch bearing is usually clogged with thread lock. Just drill it out and pump grease in there because the bearing’s dry from the factory.

Thanks! Good to know

Sweet. I did a 288 before I had my lathe. Turned out pretty good

[@jreif14]

Nice, hopefully it works out good for you! As for the decomp, I always plug mine right away.

[@justindubya458]

Can't wait to see how this one runs before and after, because you always have an "after"🤣🤣🤣Hope to see you end up with one of those 395 clones as well

Great saw. I have a blue one. Milled a lot of siding with it. So much the muffler turned white. Lol

[@dusty1498]

Love that Yamaha blue a unique color for a saw

[@frankz1125]

@@dusty1498 it's growing on me.

[@frankz1125]

I have a video or 2 on it on my channel if you are interested. Cheers

Awesome saw! Myself I'd like the ms440 clone!

[@Arfabiscuit]

I bought an Holzfforma not this one but it works and runs great

[@chainsawcanuck]

They are a great value..if you like to tinker

👍👍nice!

[@alunsy2125]

Maybe a dumb question is that little rectangular piece of plastic under the tensioner supposed to stay on?

[@chainsawcanuck]

Yeah if you mean the white plastic piece, it a wear strip so if chain derailes it won't hurt the case

[@alunsy2125]

Awesome thank you!

[@dusty1498]

Should be A Ripper👍

[@justindubya458]

Forgot to ask, from amazon or one of the dealers in Canada?

[@chainsawcanuck]

Was on Amazon for 418

[@Indeewoods]
