Title: Not as bad as others
Review: I have had this saw for a few years. I do not use it every week, nor do I use it to cut firewood. But I have 18 trees on my property and it has been a great saw to trim tree limbs, thus the name. I have always bought new chains (Oregon S50) and do not reuse my chains. I don't have the desire to sharpen chains for the amount I use the saw. I did notice that a dull chain stretches and I'm assuming that is normal, and at that point the adjustment screw is at the end of it's range. Perhaps that contributes to the problems other have experienced?As far as adjusting only two tools are required to adjust the saw, a 7/16" wrench and a 1/4" flat-blade screwdriver.I have had one hybrid Poplar tree die amd I took the entire 20-year old tree down with this little saw. I would never do it again, as it took a LONG, LONG time, but the saw survived. I learned why they make larger saws with larger motors.I hope this helps with your decision. ( P.S. I never had any problem with the oil.)
