Newbie with Broken Tanaka and New Husky
Hi everyone,
I have an old Tanaka ECS350 which to this day has been an absolutely brilliant saw. However the rear handle cracked and getting a replacement in Australia is next to imposible.
I can get one in the U.S but they dont ship internationally. So it looks like it is relagated shelf.
So I went out and bought a new saw. My main use is for cutting firewood (up to 10"-12" so nothing big and wanted a light weight reliable saw that was within budget.
I have two dealers locally, one is Husky and the other is Makita.
The husky dealer gave me the best deal so bought a 440e, got a couple of hundred off the price with a few freebies thrown in for good measure.
Used it a few times, seems pretty good so far (not as much power as teh Tanaka has) but seems to do the job well. Now not being one to leave thinsg alone, is there any tips or tricks i should know about with this saw??
