Factory Reconditioned Poulan P4018WM Wild Thing 18-Inch 40cc 2-Stroke Gas-Powered Chain Saw

This saw arrived very quickly, and will satisfy my need for a back-up saw for clearing our recurring storm damage. I found the quality of the reconditioning lacking, however. This saw is a "self oiler". I'm sure this is intended to imply that the chain is automatically oiled while in use, but it also gets oil all over the operator. The saw arrived with the carburetor in need of significant adjustment - a problem the manual says requires return to a repair facility. I made a tool to perform the adjustment at home. The chain sent in a sealed package was too dull to use, but I sharpened it. These things should have been done at the reconditioning facility.

Poulan needs stricter quality control in their reconditioning dept. Chainsaw was sent to customer and would not run for more than a minute or two. Obviously, it was not set up properly by Poulan's reconditioning dept.

I HAVE PURCHASED THIS CHAIN SAW BECAUSE OF THE PRICE AND FEATURES, I HAVE ALSO READ THE REVIEWS BUT I BOUGHT IT ANYWAY. THIS SAW IS "FACTORY RECONDITIONED" WITH MEANS IT'S GARBAGE!! I WILL NOT GET INTO DETAILS BUT I HAVE USED MANY DIFFERENT SAWS BEFORE AND THIS ONE IS BY FAR THE WORST. I HAVE TO GET IT AND IT WILL PROBABLY COST MORE THEN THE CHAIN SAW ITSELF, BUT DID I MENTION THAT YOU CANNOT RETURN THIS PRODUCT!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT BUY THIS CHAINSAW.
