Best tip is to sharpen very regularly, farr better to do a few strokes of the file than to cut till its really blunt and end up having to spend a long time sharpening.

 

Not sure what a 211 is like, smallest stihl Ive used was a 023 which was basicly ok altough not a pro machine.

I'm new on here. Completed my CS30/31 earlier this year..Just doing a few jobs a month and looking at a cheap saw. Looking at Stihl MS 181 or 211 or Husky 240. Any advice please. People talk about small trees, but what are you calling small trees. Many thaks

Hi Derwen - welcome to the forum.

 

Better off with a good used professional saw for that money really. Domestic saws are very very slow and in my experience tend to drop to bits when you ask a lot of them.
