It's easy to operate and it splits wood excellent. I can split kindling real easy by adjusting the slide. It really impresses me a lot .
I love this saw & it didn’t even take long to put it together. I cut down 10 pine trees and some heavy bushes 3” around off the fence line. It’s perfect and what a chain saw it is.
I'm sure it works great on soft woods, but on hard woods, anything larger than 1 3/4" in diameter, it will stall out. Other than that, a solid little machine.
Thought I would share this, I am at 5000 feet elevation putting the choke on all the way fouls the spark plug. I put it half way to completely off and it starts fairly quickly. It cuts like butter, I had to get used to how much gas power to use in cutting the different tree sections. I have past experience in pruning trees this was the first time in cutting a tree down. Man, it was a real workout as it was on a slope. The only complaint the cover for the pull cord had two small pieces of plastic break on the bottom section, needs better plastic material, otherwise I highly recommend buying this chainsaw.
Extremely satisfied customer!!!
Haven't used it yet but it appears to be ready for next summer for the hurricane season. Looks like a good size machine but not too heavy. Very happy with the purchase 😄
