Is it entirely me, or does the cheap chainsaw share the blame?
I just gotta ask: Did you have to do any assembly? Is the chain on the right
way? I did that to my self one day after I had stripped the saw down to clean it up. I put the chain on backwards. They won't cut worth a damn that way. Charlie "Toller" wrote in message ... I have never had much luck with chainsaws, but then I have always bought junk. Currently I have a Craftsman 16" 36cc. http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/produ...BV Cookie=Yes Although I haven't used it much, it barely cuts and when I push it the blade just stops. Getting through anything more than a branch is an ordeal; but I see professionals going through 3' logs like butter. I concede my technique is largely responsible, I wonder if it is entirely responsible. There is an "new" Echo 440CS available locally for a very low price. http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/...de=cii_9324560 Since the normal price is more than twice that of the saw I have, I have to think it is somehow better. Will the Echo do better for me than the Craftsman; or would I be just as unhappy with it? |

Wouldn't it be nice if it were that simple! I will check. Don't think so
though; cuts too well for that. I have cut very little with it, and I don't think it is any worse now than when new. I just adjusted the tension because it was a bit loose. Don't know what a depth stop is. Please advise. "Charlie Bress" wrote in message ... I just gotta ask: Did you have to do any assembly? Is the chain on the right way?
