Jonsered Chainsaw - information sought?

Question

Hi Group,I have just inherited an electric chainsaw.It claims to be a Jonsered Model EL-14.Name plate also mentions Electrolux Industries.Google tells me about Jonsered and Electrolux and theircurrent range of equipment.No mention of the EL-14 or anything like it.I suspect therefore it is quite(?) old.Can anyone provide more information please?It works somewhat, but seems to 'slip' when the going gets tough.So I guess I would like a User Manual/Parts Catalog in orderto dismantle/examine the innards.  I am reluctant to do that withoutthe books.Also of course possible that someone who knows this brandwill advise junking it and saving me trouble.Dee

Electrolux is your starting and probably ending point.

They have a factory in Jonkoping in Sweden which over time has made chainsaws for the Jonsered, Husqvarna, Flymo, McCulloch,..... brands.

Do a Google search around that for Sweden and I think you'll find it.

You'll also find one Jacob Wallenberg and a faceless company called Investor AB, of whom you had probably never heard until you discover that he owns half of Swedish industry. Kamprad owns a significant proportion of the rest.
