Hi, iam relatively new to chainsaws etc. I purcused a macallister petrol 2 stroke chainsaw from bnq last year and more recently had the teeth sharpened. As soon as l make any contact with a log it kicks and sticks into the wood and l struggle to get it out again. Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated!... many thanks will.

I don't have a garden, or not much of one, and anyway, what there is has no road frontage whatsoever.   However, some friends run a tearooms and keep chickens at a place not too far away that is situated on a country lane that is often used as a 'rat run' to get to a nearby city rather than use the often clogged main route.
