I'm thinking I'd like to take out some large shrubs this fall.
Before I do the unthinkable and purchase an electric chainsaw
which I think will just start when you plug it in, any suggestions
why the thing won't start?

Be nice. *(laugh) *I'll take down all suggestions and try them

What Don said. To answer the electric question. If you will only use
it where power is available, it will do your work quite handily. Buy
one of the better quality ones though, not the cheapest you can find.

Keep the chain sharp. If you don't know how, locate a 'fix-it' shop
that sharpens them.
