Hi guys,
Been a long time since I’ve been on this site. I’ve been dragging my ‘“collection” down from the garage rafters to thin it out, and the CAD kicked in... Next thing I know I’m driving 125 miles to pick up a Super EZ I traded a few other saws for. Was surprised a saw this small has compression release, not that I know that much about it. Thought it was for big saws. Here’s my question. Does one typicallly open the release to start the saw? And the manual oiler in case the automatic stops? Nice saw. I’ve been looking for one for a while.
TIA for any replies
R&R

Welcome back!
It is odd to me the SEZ has a compression release and other (larger) saws don't. One mine its connected to the throttle lock, so I will sometimes use it when cold starting but only because its connected to the throttle lock.
I think the manual oiler was intended as a backup, yes. I like to give mine a few pumps before the first start so there is good oil on the chain right away, especially if it hasn't been used in a while. When cutting, I'll occasionally give it a pump here and there especially when cutting larger wood.

The size of the Super EZ isn't really the factor. The Super EZ is a powerhouse of a little saw. It's got really high compression and not easy to pull without the release, which is tied to the throttle lock you should be using to start it, so yes, it's for starting.
As Rowdy said, the manual oiler is for when you need extra oil, more than the auto oiler provides. Used alot in softer pitch/resin rich woods that would gum up the blade and I use it more when cutting abrasive hardwoods, like dry Red Oak, Black Locust etc.

The Super EZ is capable of producing 185 psi of compression, so having a comp. release makes it "EZ" to start. I consider manual oilers as auxiliary oilers .. use as needed. Looking forward to seeing the Super EZ and more of your "collection" . 5tss |

If you don't use the compression release you'll end up breaking your recoil.The reason why Homelite put a compression release on the SEZ was because they made the recoils so cheaply.There's really nothing to the recoils.You'd think it'd be more cost effective to just make a beefier recoil. Ed

Thanks for all the welcome backs and education on this saw. I will be posting a few more  's as I start working on a few non-runners, non-oilers, etc. |
