Check the air filter design carefully.
I would consider a Husqvarna chainsaw next time I need one, but my little saw is only 16 years old and has a lot of life left in it.

Mmmm im quite happy with the design of the new air filter , To me it seems better than the old type time will see .
Warranty is four years if you use synthetic oil so im using synthetic , 2 years if you choose organic oil its a no brainer

Yep, get chaps. Make sure they are good quality ones, not some cheap "chinky trash" Neither should they EVER be repaired. Chaps stop a saw by jamming it with the strands, if its repaired or cheap junk they wont work!

They need to be fashionable as well. Not sure about pink myself but if you can get them in turquoise or maybe a Peacock Blue, then ...

Must fire up the 98cc Husky with 22" bar, my red gum special.
I found the husky had better balance than the Stihl in mho
