The pole is long, and can be heavy to maneuver. The clutch mechanism makes it incredibly safe. I then cut some major limbs off a birch tree. This is a well-built Heavy Duty corded chainsaw. Nevertheless, this saw is fun to use.

Poulan Pro PR4218 Final Thoughts
"The saw itself isn't bad."
I always have had good luck with Poulan Pro motors also. The chain did indeed have 57 links. We needed to clear out trees and bush. Chain is easy to put on and tighten. Com and happy pleased with the purchase.
