For the odd tree limb, a recip saw is a much safer and easier
weapon.

You can get a good reciprocating saw and a pack of
pruning blades and all you need is a high quality drop cord.

It will NEVER fail to start and is generally, MUCH
safer for the average person to use than a chain saw.

For under $200, you are business for many years.

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.
