That's a poor job, professional saw shouldn't have plastic to burn/ melt to that degree around the clutch,brake mechanism..

I have a Qualcast and a Parkside which have both had a hard life since the larch disease arrived here. I think I paid 60 for the Qualcast and 70 for the Parkside more recently. Last time Lidl had the Parkside on offer for 85 I went to get one as a spare and found they were offering 'buy one, get one half price'!
I bought one of these when they were mentioned on here a few months back when my Stihl was playing up. It’s cheap and cheerful but made short work of sawing through some lengths of 12 -15” tree trunk (pine admittedly). Now the Stihl is sorted I’ll use that in preference but this is a useful spare.

395 is a nice saw.You’re missing a 3120xp, 395xp, 372xp 365 special and a 346xp
I like to have N+1 chainsaws when N is the number my wife knows about

I forgot to add that it is less painful when you can't find one of these rather than when you can't find one of the top makes. I've failed to find 3 so far, 2 petrol, 1 electric!

Only 6-7 cc more than the 390 and that eats anything it gets it's teeth into.

The 395 is suited better for longer bars but unfortunately it is a heavier saw.

Does it run 404 or 3/8th chain

Both of mine are on 3/8th.

I've come to the conclusion that they need to be cleaned spotless before being put away long term and drain all the fuel out, even the bubble/bowl.

There is no bubble /bowl on a 390/5.
People like these saws because they are less temperamental but
they are slightly on the heavy side.

I don't know much about these posher saws but I've concluded anything 2 stroke is very very sensitive to fuel if you want it to run or start or sing reliably. I don't understand why this is the case given that 4 strokes don't appear to be as picky?

The secret to reliability is quality oil and E5 petrol ,those two and any 2stroke engine will run properly

I go with high octane fuel and xp oil on the big huskies ,everything else has
been run on standard fuel with quality stihl oil.We've got a stihl 460 which has
been a great saw, never had any special treatment but we do try and mix the fuel
and oil correctly.
Yeah 395s are ace, mine is on a 30” bar and it never struggles even with the full bar buried in hardwood and some pretty aggressive chains.
I’ve got a 288xp on a 25” bar and it’s a lovely saw to use too, so much torque it just keeps pulling.
Try Aspen fuel, bit pricey but for occasional users it's great.
Don’t leave them dry, worst thing you can do
