stihl every time for me..

and as has already been said, get some basic training and some ppe..

better to be safe than sorry..

laser_jock99:
We use 15" Husqvarna- other than getting it re-sharpened occasionally have had no probs.

PPE- get leg, foot and face protection. My uncle wasn't wearing his face mask while doing some carving work (with a specialized carving saw) the blade kicked back and went straight through his jawbone. Nasty!

Defender:
One other bit of safety advice I would give is, as soon as the saw finishes the cut, apply the chain brake, even if you intend to cut again straight away. It's easy to apply the brake with the back of your left hand whilst still holding the saw.
