Dolmar PS352

[7sleeper]

Just brand new info slowly leaking out. I find it a very nice new product from Dolmar. Haven't held it yet in my hands but it looks quite promising for a homeowner smal saw.
35cc
1.7kw/2.4hp
4.2kg/9.2lb

Who knows if it might have inherited genes...

First of a bunch of new product in the works.

I've been thinking of getting a smaller saw and was eying the ps35. Any idea when these are supposed to hit the market?

Looks horrible, with that "tool-less" chain adjust, and the plastic handlebar. Is it available without it?

I've had a terrible time with my Dolmar PS 350, very hard starting, hard to keep running, not very powerful, had problems with it ever since I bought it, wished I never bought it, don't even take it with me anymore when I go to cut wood. Just my .02.

The two stud version is shown mainly in that link in post 1.
I noticed it has spring av, adjustable oiler, metal chain catcher and they rate it for 90sg and 91px chain.
There can be quite a difference how various saws with that 1.7kw rating handle a load.

Not sure which setup is coming here.



Do I see a plastic handle and tool less tensioner?

This will be a strato engine and have an outboard clutch.

There is something definitely wrong with the saw. That's a very strong 35cc saw.

Don't show a tool less chain Husky with lots of multi colored plastic to Sawtroll, it will drive him bananas! That poor Husky may be a Chinese one....Sawtroll loves a Chinese Husky!

Obviously something is not right at all with your saw! Have you ever adjusted the carb? L 1/4 out should change it to MUCH better!

Sorry ST, but as far as I understand you have to take a handle bar on your saw, without is not an option.... they have the regular nuts on the side, but they also have the "lose proof" funktion included. What I like ALOT about the new design is outboard clutch and pretty low weight combined with power. Will we see if real on hand experience can confirm this.

as far as I have understood dealers here have them orderd and are awaiting delivery. They have been, what I have been told, available in Japan for almost a year now.

I think those little saws are some of the handiest to have. I hope that more companies take this size saw seriously and keep improving them.

 

[CoreyB]

I do hope that they leave the tooless chain tensioner an option. I do not see any advantage for them.

The 421 is a screamer

That looks much better!

You do, and you will with Stihl as well (they actually started it). All the major brands make such mistakes on the lesser saw models.

Yes, I agree - but they should have made a 40cc version, to really replace the 410/411.

I guess we have to live with plastic handlebars on the smaller saws, and this isn't the worst looking one

Much heavier though, and not really neat with the inboard clutch.

 

[swatbwana]

I like inboard clutches the weights really not an issue .

7sleeper do you think it would be worth the wait over buying the current model? I was planning on picking one up sometime this month but it sounds like this one would be worth the wait if it isn't a whole lot more expensive.

 

[7sleeper]

@wideglide ,

since I donot know when they will be availabel in the US and I cannot say if you are willing to wait. Here the first dealers are just recieving them. As far as the pics I have seen I see it as a definitiv improvement over the previous models. I wouldn't be amazed if they introduce a 40cc model in the same housing(similar as they first introduced the PS32 model and only later the 35cc version). Pricewise they are at around 400€ at the moment but I expect them to be around 350 soon.
