Re: (ET) electric saws

[JBR <reinharj frontiernet net>]

I have had an electric (110VAC) McCullough saw, with 16" bar, for years, 
but 
have not used it much.

I did cut down a whole tree (16" diameter base, I think)  in my backyard, 
that 
was taller than my 2 story house, with it.  I spread the work over a 
couple 
days - more to rest my back than rest the saw.

As the other buys said - sharp chain is super important - as is oiling the 
bar 
- otherwise motor overloads.  

And, or course, don't pinch the chain - that loads motor also.
