The Kid is FIVE. Not 10. I'm sorry, five year olds have trouble colouring inside the lines half the time. I do not think that they have sufficient situational awareness nor sufficient response. An MS 660 is way out of control but honestly, even a smaller saw. There's just no real reason for it. The kid is going to more more tempted to ##### around with the saw when his dad isn't home. Then his friends will do the same.
I'm not saying you have to keep your kid in a plastic bubble, but come on, we're talking kindergarten age!! Even if you "teach him" how to do it, there's no way he can be a productive, competent woodcutter for a LONG time.
Kids cost too much money to risk just losing/damaging one over something like this.
