  1. I was always told a sharp saw is a safer saw cuts easier yep so would do more of the work for the old boy and now he can hopefully see how easier it is to use sharp he might try not to cut up his drive.

  6. Picked up my new replacement 550 this morning after nothing but trouble with the first one.After a bit of advice do i keep the saw or sell it and get a non auto tune as i have lost all faith in this product and what saw to replace it with.Also if i did keep it should i set the auto tune as the manual states as the dealer said no need to but this would of been set to work shop conditions and not for outside use or is this the idea of auto tune.I know it might seem a daft question but any answers welcome.Kev
