Comment: 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.

Comment: Yes the look, really nice, attracts the young ens' , THATS BECAUSE IT'S A TOY....Maybe you could give them 'smokes and light 'em while they filler up with gas. No, really, thats the end result you get with this thing.Call a lawyer first Protect yourself and family.Run, don't walk away..............

Comment: After reading several bad reviews (but just as many good reviews) I decided to take my chances. I used it today for the first time. Fell and bucked about three trees. pretty medium sized trees nothing real big. I had no problems starting this thing, As long as you dont flood the engine it should start right up. I did however have to tighten the "T" Adjustment to get the thing to idle a bit faster, before i adjusted it it would not keep an idle and would stall. For those of you have this problem it's a simple fix.

Overall It seems like a pretty good saw for cutting firewood and clearing around the yard. I do see myself replacing the chain, it seems like a farely small chain and could use some bigger teeth. This saw does require some tweaking no doubt but for an experienced person this should be a decent buy.

Comment: This chainsaw is used, (as stated), but it does work satisfactory. You must realize that this is what I would call a "Homeowner" chainsaw. This is not something that you would want to use every day if you are cutting wood for a business, but if you need to cut some branches a few times a year this will work fine for you. It even say's on the front page of the manual "For occaisional use only". The engine doesn't idle very well and full throtle is a little erratic, but I can live with it for the little bit that I use it for.
