16” Black Max Chain Saw from Walmart

Starting up the Black Max Chainsaw for the first time

[@TobyDenney]

You explained the setup flawlessly, I wanted to make sure that I was doing everything right and not break it, haha. Now I can confidently proceed getting it setup, thank you!

[@angelvelasquez1651]

Thank you very much for these Video im happy to say that these is pretty straightforward and i got Walmart hyper tough version of the blackmax.

[@gustavoinzunza412]

Exactly what I was looking for. Good video man, thanks

[@jimmyhuffman6802]

The saw i got started real good and run great

[@dylanowens3173]

I got the 20" 50cc on sale $130 regular $220. I did have to cut down the hand brake spring as was too stiff would kill the chain starting and under cutting load. Once did that has been fine. Are videos how to do this. From what I could find black max saws are assembled by black and decker from Honda engine parts that honda sells to other companies that didn't meet honda grade quality control.

I've been lookin to pick up one of these, great review video...

[@ozzytinman941]

I'm to weak to start mine been sitting for a week. Ready to give it a try again today. No drop starting for me either. Great video

[@techguyhowto4602]

Thanks fir watching. Yes unfortunately a lot of chainsaws can be difficult to start. I wish I knew of an easier way. If I find a way that is easier, I will definitely post it.

@@techguyhowto4602 I have same problem, as small woman , I have no strength to pull the cord 😕😕 I need help too, please . same problem with snow blower

[@robertcromwell9736]

This saw is made by the same outfit that currently makes the Craftsman chainsaw sold at Lowes..

[@jimmyhuffman6802]

Got one of these in a pinch last year, watch the screws in this saw they have a tendency to back out and vibrate loose.

[@shadwell749]

Yeah same with Craftsman I lost one while cutting

[@sinisterspawn]

*10th Subscriber here! Nice video! Was thinking of getting this saw from Walmart looks pretty good for the price!*

[@filoIII]

Black Max says have chain brake OFF when starting, right, because it goes straight to full throttle until trigger is pressed?

[@JoeZyzyx]

Great, you got it started. The one I bought never started, so returned it. Walmart wants them back without gasoline in them, or they won't take it back till you dump the gasoline out. I was disappointed, but it's not my job to make their product work or repair it, easier to just return it.

[@techguyhowto4602]

Sorry to hear that you had a problem with the one you purchased. I’ve used mine quite a bit & so far no problems at all. Walmart is usually good about returns, I can understand needing the gas out ...it’s a safety hazard.

[@brandywineteamrep5633]

Dude, messy…messy. Spilling everywhere. 🤣😂🤣

[@mopman675]

Nice I have two of these

[@fritojoseph3954]

What type of gas did you use?

[@joelyates8905]

The break will not release for the chain to turn what do you do

[@bufordmaddogtannen514]

Mine after I start it up just runs really fast and then stops. Do you know how to fix it?

[@michaelreaves3776]

What do you do if it throws the chain

[@adamclark94]

Put it back on

[@HarLey-io9yt]

Starts and runs great. Chain not moving when trigger is squeezed. What am I doing wrong?

[@cheetahmikeyirm2179]

Make sure the chain brake is released. Pull back on the chain brake flap to release it.

[@HarLey-io9yt]

@@cheetahmikeyirm2179 thanks for the reply. I will make sure it's completely engaged.

[@joelyates8905]

What if the break will not release how do you fix it

[@danielpadgett2831]

Just saying its not a chainsaw blade its a called a chain hinz the word CHAINsaw not a blade saw

[@ethanhavard7222]

What kind of oil for the bar and chain

[@techguyhowto4602]

It should say right in the bottle , bar & chain oil. You can pick it up at Walmart or any hardware store usually.

[@benjamindover4471]

How do you unstick the blade?

[@dorsebradford9844]

Wedges or use another saw

[@dorsebradford9844]

Half choke sand the trigger kills my saw every fuckin start haha
