[net.consumers] Need advice regarding CHAINSAWS

josephl@tekigm.UUCP (Joseph Dean Ludwig) (03/04/85)

	Now that I live in the country on a couple acres of
	wooded land, I need to buy a chainsaw for removing 
	trees and general cleanup.

	I am a pure novice in this area.  Any advice or
	brand name recommendations would be appreciated.

ADVICE:	Get a chainsaw with a chain brake so that if it bucks and the
chainsaw flys back toward your body while your hand remains stationary
where it used to be holding the top handle, it hits the brake lever, and
stops the chain before you don't have a hand.

BRAND:	McCullough
Model:	Professional Series
Specific:	310

				Happy cutting
