Thankyou sir and Merry Christmas again to evryone,RON K.

I think it's me,I'm having a problem putting the chain on,the Stihl 360 I had was much easier but as I said,I'm sure it's me,RON K.

Merry christmas to evryone.Thankyou all for the the response.The one big problem I have with the 488 is when I replace the chain is getting it to stay on and adjusting the tension.Rich Hoffman and bdenny since you guys use the Shindaiwas would you please help?Thankyou all again,RON K.

I've ruled out the Shindaiwa,in fact I'm going to sell the 488 if anyone is interested.I'm worried about future dealer support if my local dealerdisapears or if we ever move.I'm leaning to a 440 and maybe a 260,Thanks,Ron K.
