Shindaiwa 450

[d1940u]

New to chainsaws and have not heard of a Shindaiwa chainsaw. I bought a 450 have needed some work. I have it running and was surprised how well it runs and saws. Anyone know what I should expect of it, Has 20 inch bar and it sawed a 38 inch cherry tree down today without missing a beat.

Same parent company as Echo and some of their products seem to overlap. Are you sure about the model number? Regardless, it's probably a well made saw. How much did it run you?

Thank you so much for manual, Information I needed. When I got the saw the chain brake was not working. The spring was packed with saw dust and acted like a solid piece of metal. The triangle part that activates brake was bent . I now can adjust it back to factory setting . The tune up data and starting information is good to have. Are these saws considered good? Thanks again

Some say a step up from Echo. I’ve yet to use one. I bought a parts lot from a retired dealer so have quite a bit for some models. Several project saws to build, eventually.

$30 Yes it says 450 . Saw had several issues. Good thing is I didn't have to spend any money to get it running. Chain was sharp which made cutting big tree easy.

$30 for a saw that does the job asked of it is a good deal in my world. One of the larger tool rental businesses in my area rented Shindaiwas exclusively for a lot of years. Yeah they probably got some volume deal but they also don't want to rent tools that will break quickly.

Thanks for information, I 83 and not looking to need many chainsaws.
