I was at my father's cottage this weekend and we took a boat ride over to my Aunt and Uncle's newly purchased water-side plot. This section of land is all wooded so they are building the dirt road first, and happened to be there working. My Uncle just bought a Stihl MS 230 CB-E and has been cutting away. He points to a down 25" DBH poplar, that failed at the root ball resulting in a very large exposed section of the root ball, and says "hey the tree man, how about you cut that up for me." Being family I respond with "where's the ear plugs" and pick up the new chain saw. First I notice the tool-less chain tensioner on the saw and play with it for a bit. While not something I would want on a pro-saw, it is a great idea for homeowners and the easiest chain tensioner to use. Next I go to start it and pull like I always do but being the "easy 2 start" saw two things happen. 1. It gives little resistance. 2. It has a very delayed start but starts right up. I must say that for a homeowner this idea may not be the best. As some have pointed out already, should a person that can't start the saw really be using one? I can understand, and fully endorse this system on a blower or small string trimmer but not a saw. How can someone control a saw if they can't start a 30.8 cc engine (that is the smallest saw Stihl makes with the easy 2 start)?
