After reading lots of posts concerning Stihl, Dolmar, Echo, and RedMax, I went out this afternoon and purchased my first saw - a Dolmar PS-401 w/ 16" bar. Reading many posts, I located a nearby local dealer who showed me the chainsaw, added fuel and oil, took me outside and let me take a few cuts. He cracked open the case to show how to remove/open/clean the air filter, took off the guide bar and chain and showed me how to put back on and adjust with the set screw. Asked about sharpening chains and he said he charges $5.00 per chain. Bought a case, extra chain, fuel oil, and bar oil. Threw in a hat to boot. As soon as it cools down I'm off to cut a few limbs.
Thanks for all your advice and help!
