Martin's post got me thinking.
The saw I purchased arrived in the mail this morning. I didn't open it and called to request an RMA to send it back.
On the way home from UPS, I stopped by our local landscape equipment shop and purchased a Stihl MS 361.
http://www.stihlusa.com/chainsaws/MS361.htmlThey showed me how to use all the fancy features and got me set up with accessories. I decided to buy an additional 18" bar/chain, since most often I won't need the full 24" bar.
Thank you for all of your help.
I think I can get back to work now....
