Have you started the chain saw yet?

If it is a Craftsmen. Throw it away.

Any dealer of the brand will be happy to show you how to work the chain saw.
Safely.
Get some safety glasses.

Do not use any gasoline with ethanol in it.

They do make wonderful electric battery chain saws now.


thanks for the reply, professor,

brand described above- Stihl MS 200T, which I understand supposed to be a good and sought after saw. I have not started it. I will stay away from ethanol, which I have recently started doing for all of my small engine equipment. If buying, I would go electric, but since I have this and my needs will be infrequent, I use what I have.

any dealer you'd recommend (I'm in Meredith)? I've seen them at hardware store, but would prefer a dedicated equipment store if possible.
