This is the appeal of electric tools to people like me.

I have a gas chainsaw, only used a couple of times. I really
don't have much use for a chainsaw is what it boils down to.
So it sits in the garage for a couple/three years and now that
I need it, it won't start. As expected.

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
before I give up on the gas chainsaw. Just planning ahead.

For such occasional use, there is nothing wrong with an electric chain
saw. Things to keep in mind however a

- Make sure you have long enough heavy gauge extension cords.
- Make sure you don't cut the extension cord.
- Electric chain saws are more dangerous than gas ones, since they don't
stall out when they bog down like gas ones do.
