Throw away item!!
Here's the facts on this one form a novice chain saw user. First, the instructions are pitiful!!! The reference pictures are too small to see. We had to take it to a experienced friend to check we had put it together correctly. On the first start the pull cord mechanism broke and the cord stayed out. Again had to take it to the friend to fix
(does this for a living) Next the spark plug blew up, had to go up the street to replace. Then the pull cord broke!! Husband rigged up to get through. By the end the chain saw was too blunt to finnish. Friend helped again. All this to cut two medium trees over the weekend. Thing is ready for the bin. Summery: we were quoted $500 by a tree lopper so still saved $270 after delivery. Like I said here are the facts, up to you now. Good luck!!

Very Average
I can not believe this saw got so many glowing reports. It is very average at best. The choke mechanism is poorly designed and the kill switch looks to very fragile, although it has given no trouble it is very hard to start. This saw is only suitable for the very occassional user.
Having said that, I would buy it again as it is 1/4 the price of the European one I looked at

best purchase ever
owned one of these(Or previous model,same specs) for over 3 years and have cut firewood(redgum) for three households and do some professional treefelling and always use this saw except for climbing or trees above 2 foot in diameter. This saw is so much better to use than stihl or husqvarna. Can find no faults in its design. Brokedown for first time last week, starter rope broke. Once started it only takes 1 pull to start everytime and no throttle needed ever. It still runs as well as the day I got it. Never been to service shop except to fit new chain.

Good product for the price, appears to cut ok so far. It seems a bit lightly built with quite a few plastic parts. It does not feel as robust as my other chain saw, (Mac) but time may prove it to be a capable chain saw.

This is a fantastic chainsaw! After years of fussing with an $800 Echo that was more trouble than it was worth, I can finally cut through decent pieces of wood without any breakdowns. A big thumbs up for this one.

This is an excellent Chainsaw, would stand up against the likes of Stihl. My husband is a carpenter & can't find a fault with it.
