JCB PCS38 Petrol Chainsaw

worked ok for a while, primer bubble started leaking, then the starter recoil went faulty.

tried to get spare parts, none available anywhere.

will not buy anything again that has JCB stamped on it.

this JCB chainsaw is rubbish. NO spare parts available anywhere!.

nylon oil feed packs up after a few years i bought one of these and kept it well cleaned i had a tree blown down and could not cut it up

Average chainsaw,did the job i wanted it to do.Unfortunately i lost the manual so i rang after sales service for help.O.M.G.I am not even going to go there,complete muppets.Dreadful waste of a phone call.

bought mine on a deal from a discount warehouse, first one lasted about 20 minutes of light usage then cut out and would not restart. the company exchanged it as it was only 1 day old! the second one i had worked ok for a total of 3 hours this was then put away until required next season.The chainsaw failed to start and due to repeated start attempts the recoil start failed.I stripped it only to find that the recoil mechanism was made from cheap plastic parts.I then tried to obtain spares to fix this, only to find that no spares were available.

this means that the unit is basically scrap for the want of 2 small bits of plastic DISGRACEFUL!!!!!!!

DO NOT BUY JCB POWER TOOLS AS WHEN THEY DEVELOP FAULTS THEY ARE SCRAP

I am breaking one of these for parts;

i am the same as some of you guys got a jcb pcs38 chainsaw nearly new and will not start tried all the cure problem but no good can not get parts not good ad for jcb mine just sit here might aswell get rid in the bin lol

Absolute rubbbish! Recoil starter fell to pieces because it's made out of plastic. Then engine would not start because magneto module failed. Rang JCB for a spare part and was told there are no parts available. So the unit is junked after only 3 years of light use. Do NOT touch with a bargepole.

All in all, the JCB PCS38 gives you what you pay for, I required a cheap chainsaw to remove 3 trees in the garden, It performed the task without any problems.

The JCB PCS38 Petrol Chainsaw has a good engine, but let down by it's other parts, steer clear!
