Don't be fooled into this one
Got my new saw out of the box, fueled and oiled it up. Followed the directions on starting... so far so good. Engine started right up. I let the engine warm up for a few minutes... went to make my first cut, pull the trigger and the engine died. Ok, no problem, start it back up again, which it did. Pulled the trigger and it dies again. This was my whole day with it. The saw runs great at idle, but the moment I try to make a cut, the engine dies. I eventually get it to cut with some work and pumping the trigger, but as soon as the cut is finished and I release the trigger it dies. I get very tired after an hour of repeatedly having to restart the thing.... so by the end of my first day with it and less than 2 hours of use, the engine still runs, but the chain won't move. It's as if the chain brake is stuck. Anyway, it's going back in the box and back to the store. I should have listened to my dad and bought a Stihl.
