Identity of this chainsaw?

[Curtis]

Hello all, I purchased this chainsaw at a swap meet over the weekend. There is no name on it. There is a sticker on the side that says it's a 34cc, model AX34, and was made in Canada. The case is made of medal. I would like to know the name, how to mix the and oil lubricant for the chain. I got it to start by putting in the on position, pulling out the choke and pullling the cord. Does the choke have to be pushed back in when it's started, and which of the three positions should the hand guard be in once it's started? The chainsaw was very cheap ($15) I tested it out on a medium log and it works fine. I'm only going to use it to cut up medium sized logs for my girlfriend's fireplace. I attached two photo that I hope will assist in the identification. Any information on this chainsaw would be deeply appreciated.

For you'r own safety reading your post...seems that you have never used a chainsaw in your life.
I would start reading facts about safety and general operation to avoid injury.....simple warning. In the hands of the wrong person it can be lethal and very dangerous.
Your saw is a re-badge(copy) version of the husky35 model.
40:1 oil ratio is the prefered mix with bar oil for the chain.
The choke needs to be pushed back when started.
3 position are as follow.Close to the bar...chain brake engaged.
Close to the trigger...chain brake released.
Middle position...operating mode.

This saw uses pressurized gas and bar/oil tank.....IN ORDER TO WORK PROPERLY , THE CAPS NEEDS TO BE WELL CLOSED and unscrew them to avoid oil spill and gas leak when you are done using the saw.

Hi Curtis-

Looks like a JACC AX34 which is a re-badged Frontier FB-35C. Looks like yours has the rare working chain brake?

Frontier FB-35C by Trail Manufacturing

There were tens of thousands of these little saws made for just about everybody- Solo, Western Auto, and Pacific Hardware among others.

Your saw was mas produced. The mother company was Electrolux with their Canadian Emab division that owned Frontier, Husky, Pioneer and many mores.....1981
Acquisition of Trail Manufacturing Ltd in Canada.Trail Manufacturing Ltd produces hobby chainsaws.
1988 Electrolux/Emab closed all Canadian plants and were taken over by Poulan in Shevreport Louisiana, to concentrate their expansion in Europe (Jonsered/Huskvarna).

First thing you should get, before running this chain saw, is PPE (Personal Protection Equipment), is a must (don't care how much experience you have, or how much fire wood you are going to cut, Safety is a must).
A hard hat, equipped with a mesh face shield, and ear muffs, to protect your head, face, and hearing.
A good pair of safety work boots, with good soles, and steel caps to protect the toes Sandals, Running Shoes, or Bare Feet, doesn't cut the Mustard),from falling blocks of fire wood, and branches that might land on your foot, unexpectedly
A pair of chain saw chaps, to protect your legs, from obstacles, such as flying debris from the chain saw, thorns from thorny trees, if you are cutting such a tree, and most of all, the chain on the saw itself. It can rip you, not cut you, really bad.
Always Work Safe, while running a chain saw. Bruce.

Hi, well your saw has been pretty well identified now, I can only reiterate the advice you have been given concerning SAFETY. You can download a safety manual from the Stihl website free. One last thing, buy some good quality sharpening files and keep those cutting teeth sharp. Keep safe. PR
