Reliability
Initial tests revealed that the fuel tank could not be
emptied when the saw was mainly used for vertical
cuts. Furthermore the warm motor was sometimes
difficult to restart. Modified test models in which
these faults were corrected were tested at a later
stage. These modifications will be introduced as of
December 2011.
