Working at high Colorado altitudes I often have problems with chainsaw reliabily. Notably starting. So I use battery chainsaws a LOT. Thought I'd take a chance on an Echo 490 for light and medium duty usage. I've read that Echo's like to start and run. Plus it is lighter than some. A good quality when limbing.
Anything I should expect? Or I should know first? Can likely still cancel though I did find a very good price on a new saw - $400.
 
"A good quality when limbing."
That's a felling and bucking saw in my book, my limbing saw is 280T.
