Craftsman 42cc 18&#34 Gas Chain Saw —

I purchased this saw this last weekend. I have a couple of maple trees in my back yard I have to take down. I got one the trees dropped and cut up in a couple of hours. The saw is super easy to start, and does a great job of cutting. The manual indicates that new chains tend to stretch and it did. I had to adjust the chain tension twice. The second time I pinched the saw and pulled the chain off the bar, as the chain was in the process of loosening anyways. It was easy to put back on the bar and adjust the tension.... after that it stayed tight. Overall I'm pretty happy with it.
