Can you guys tell me what kind of chainsaw I have?

[Northwoods3308]

Hey all I was hoping somebody could tell me what kind of Jonsered I have here. Apologies for the terrible pictures can try to take better ones tomorrow. Also on the rear of the saw there is another switch in addition to the stop switch I'm curious what that is.Ok can't type too much on tablet it takes forever but what model saw is this ? CC's? Is it a good saw? Thank You All

Look's  similar to a 620 or 630 My Brother had back In The Day. Think the extra switch was the hand warmer 

[sawguy21]

That was my guess too. What bar and chain is on it?

[Northwoods3308]

Thank you for the replies! Hand warmer is a good idea I would not have guessed that. Should test it and see if it works. I believe the bar says Sugi hara or something japanese will double check tomorrow. Going to go look at pictures of the models you mentioned. Also the sticker that u can see in the one pic that says listed 54L1 has the date 1985 under it so that narrows it down some I suppose Thanks for the help so far

3/8 size chain will try to take some better shots tomorrow

EV would follow the model number...indicating electronic ignition and heated handles. Should be two settings; low & high.

People love the heated handles, but on the bigger J'red saws the switches could melt.

I can't see a model number anywhere on the saw. I looked up the 630s that the previous poster mentioned and it does look a lot like them

[Real1shepherd]

Pics that are lighter/clearer would help. The darkness is obscuring the over all saw in the pictures.

Here's a 630 to compare with. The 630 Super is a little different.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMnodXe2khI

 Hey all thank you for replies ! I took some better pics. Found the plate where model number would be if it wasn't scatched off it looks like it definitely could have said 630. There is another number which I guess is serial number. I'm guessing it's a 630 . 

[Northwoods3308]

Yeah man that 630 in the video looks just like my saw except for the lil black switch under stop switch that my saw has and the video saw doesn't . Pretty sure mystery is solved. Another ? For you guys I have always ran my older saws at 40/1. But when I looked up the manual for the 630 I'm pretty sure it said 50/1 I was really surprised that a saw from the 80s would be 50/1? Any suggestions or opinion s on oil ratio? I'm likely to stay with 40/1 because it doesn't SEEM to be causing any problems but happy to learn from ppl who know better thanks again all!

Stay with 40-1. Just make sure it's in tune with that or you'll be sorry for that recommendation. I take no personal grief if this doesn't work out for you. Just my $0.02. Remember when it was made, and with the modern oils and that over rich oil mix, then you'll be ok. The tune is ALMOST as important as a good sharp chain. BTW, that slightly round cutting edge looks like a semi chisel and the roller replacement type nose on that bar reminds me of some of the Oregon industrial harvester bars. I, uh, could be wrong ya know.

You can play it safe with 40:1, yeah. I now use the Stihl Ultra in all my old saws. However, don't wanna turn this into an oil thread.......could get ugly.8)

You still have people here using 16:1 and making layers of coke inside their combustion chamber.
