Buy a Stihl chain saw (not sold at big box retailers) and be shown how to properly use and maintain it. A local authorized Stihl dealer (Stihl has no auth Ebay dealers for brand new saws) is prolly as passionate about chain saws as we're about Cruisers. No joke. As stated above, eye, ear & toe protection can't be stressed enough. Chaps are a must if you cut often. I have the MS210 with 16" bar and love it.
