content: Bought this late 2008.....used it about 4 times. Nothing heavy...yard work with no more than an hour of total use. Took it out today to cut a fallen branch, plugged it in, pulled the trigger....silence. Absolutely nothing. Checked the extention cord...moved to another outlet, etc., so-forth and so-on. Another exception to the rave reviews I guess.....but it is over a year and a half old...so Poulan probably won't want to hear my story. A waste of $80 + tax in the long run.UPDATE 8/3/2010: Thanks to a comment posted with this review...and the fact I didn't chuck this in the garbage right away...I found out that there is an unobvious "safety" feature which shuts this down...which doesn't involve the main triggers you use with your fingers. See the comment posted with this review. I now give this saw 5 stars.
