Dumb as I am I need a dumb saw. I have other meaningful things in life to think about. Not worth to sped my mental energy to operate an "intelligent" saw.
Glad you enjoy it! Shihl it's just not for me, I hate tools designed by office engineers never going out on field with the tool. Clearly I am not a stihl operator, I am lazy operator, I am a lame operator, I like tools designed for dummies like me, stihl is not for dummies.
@@gheroshno worries it happens... I bought the ms250 and never got to really put it to its potential... after 6 tanks I had trouble getting it started.. cord was hard to pull due to high compression... the dealer sed it ran fine but never did... I ended up selling it for $100... I lost $300 but it's okay.. I bought the ms211 new.. not an issue... really good performance for occasional use... I dropped a tree for firewood with the ms211... smooth..
@@IvanHernandez-kz5uq yes, I can go over the caps, over the asymmetrical chain, over the filter but I can't go over the stud issues. That's it, sometimes you win, sometimes you loose. ☺
@@gherosh I'm not a know it all on this but a chainsaw is a must have tool.... it does not matter if your a pro or beginner it's all for the same purpose... I personally don't like chainsaws and the whole cutting trees down etc but it's a necessity. It saves me money to have my own firewood for winter... I had an older echo top handle, loved it's performance... small very light but lots of power from that little saw... only issue was the fuel tank was leaking, I couldn't fix it so I sold it for $40. The buyer managed to fix it and uses it almost daily.
But of course I am incompetent user! More than that I am also lazy and dumb, I should be able to put the cap on with my eyes closed from the first try - not the case with this one. Some stuff are made for fancy users who likes over-complicated things.
@@gherosh If you say so. After all, who doesn't expect to be able to fuel up their chainsaw with a blindfold on, and publicly criticize the product when they fail? I own 2 saws with this cap and it isn't hard...at all.
I've had 2 oil caps break because of debris got between it. But you just need to chill start at 4 o'clock turn slowly to the left with light pressure. It will grab it keep turning till it clicks then flip the black part. But if you turn the cap a bunch of times it might be in the closed position no worries you can set it at 11 o'clock and turn it like your opening it, itll pop open then go through the steps of closing it. Main part is relax and breath. Take your oil cap off the saw hold it tight and twist back and fourth watch it closely eventually itll make sense
MS series is the homeowner level and priced accordingly. It is not commercial/pro level rated. That being said, the MS series has sold millions of units all over the world and they run forever. Assumes you know how to turn carb and do the basic cleaning and maintenace on them. German engineering = weird controls and knobs USA engineering = Poulan/Husquavarna Only a fool would buy a entry level homeowner product and then expect commercial/professional level results. The Still MS series is what it is.
I was not expecting commercial/professional level results, I know what I bought is hobby/non-professional rated product, but this is not an excuse to sell crap especially if you are a big brand.

Perfect example of when the saw has more intelligence than the operator.

@@gherosh Crawl under a rock. The saw is fine.
@@achap6376 fine for you, not for me. Happy sawing!
Agree - junk. I just bought one and it sucks. The chain stops as soon as I start cutting!
Sorry to hear that! Maybe you can return it and get a fair brand.
My new stihl ms271 won't start after half a tree. Almost $700 and I feel ripped off
Back in ol'days where good chainsaws, our days there are better and cheaper alternatives.
I own this saw it’s great. I own ms261cm as well. It’s clearly the operator, if you can’t figure out the tool less caps

There is no reason to drop ergonomics just to stand out in front of the competition in stupidity.
