Echo chain saw

Needed a saw, as I had two clients with limbs on their roofs. I have had a love hate relationship with my old saw, IF I could get it to start. So I went to the local HD and picked up an Echo CS 310 chain saw with 14" bar. Quick review of the instx. Mix up some fuel (engine oil included in box for one gallon of mix). Add bar oil (instx don't really say much about this essential step) and off I went. Probably 2 hours of actual cutting/carrying saw. Rest of time was dragging cut limbs away. Saw is very good and easy to operate, right out of the box. Weight is right. Length of this blade was all I needed, and all I would see myself needing. I did install the tip guard, but will probably remove it, as I do with many tool guards...table saw, weedwhacker, mitersaw.....
So, for $199.99, I give this saw five stars, with limited use. Wish it came with a case, but will see if it fits in old saw's case and throw the old saw on classifieds.... I also have an Echo string trimmer, back pack and hand held blowers. All have performed and held up as professional grade products.
