Mine was received well packed in a retail display box, which was packed tightly in an outer double wall corrugated box. Both arrived UPS in perfect condition.

No you shouldn't be worried, these saws are shipped to our dealership in the same manner.

ive been using husqvarna . i bought a husqvarna 240 gas saw and i used that because of the guarante. ( by the way dont buy the 240 or 235 models i found out there realy poulans and have carb problems and the oil runs out before the gas does. if your not paying attention the bar and chain will get damaged. there very hard to start husqv bought poulan out. } chainsaw oil has an addative to make it hold to the bar and chain better. a cheap offbrand oil may not have as much so could damage your bar and chain. poulan seems to be good but irealy think husq v is the best. but it is double the price.. good luck...jj ive been using husqvarna . i bought a husqvarna 240 gas saw and i used that because of the guarante.

I'm really sorry but I had never used a chainsaw before. This is not heavy at all, easy to handle even if a "lightweight" and can cut up to 16" thick branch. And I have found I can use it well, it continues to work a year later and you bet I do oil.

It was shipped packed very nicely in a stout box. The box had more engineering than many new cars I think. It shipped safely. I bought both the Bosch and the 12" DeWalt. I compared them side by side and chose the DeWalt for my purposes. I repacked the Bosch and sent it back in the same box. Gotta love Amazon Prime. I didn't pay anything to ship either saw (and stands) to me and did not pay return shipping for the one I did not select.

I would contact (e-mail) Grizzly, they would surely know. My tablesaw is not a rigid.

Hi Gene - well, I just ordered one, so we'll see how she looks when it arrives.I ordered a Makita 12" planer a while back. I have to say the packing looked like it wouldn't do much good - but it was in perfect shape. People reviewing the planer also said there were some issues with damage. So it sounds like crap-shoot: hopefully the percentage of shipped units ending up with damage appears high on the reviews since people with problems are more likely to write back.Anyway - I will reply when I get mine!cheers-Rob

Have never experienced anything like that. I would ensure the saw unit is mounted / secured to a bench or table before operating. Otherwise - sounds like it needs to go into the shop.

Probably not, its rather tall and may bend out of shape permanently if you tried. I would ship it ahead of time.

some are legit. The saw is poorly packaged and easily damaged in shipping as a result. I'll agree to that. One said there is latteral play. Yah, if you don't adjust the two cams that take up the play, dah! Some are about damage in shipping. But! And this is a big but, this is a fantastic tool for the money. Straight true cuts in sheet goods are possible and chip free cuts in melamine and laminate are a delight. If you can afford a Festool by it. If not, this is the next best thing.

You may want to hold off on buying anything till you receive your welder. It does not take long to pick up the supplies you need and you want to be sure you got a good unit before buying a bunch of stuff. My first attempt to purchase had a crushed faceplate the knobs were bent side ways. Have not attempted to purchase another yet as it was heavily discounted. And I did not have the funds to retry purchasing another yet.

Yes, I believe so. I've been using a bar and chain from another small saw tha got wrecked when a tree fell on it. I am still happy with the saw.

Yes. This gun charges when plugged in and works well, if it's not shipped via UPS. If it's shipped by UPS, then it's most likely going to be damaged in some way.

The ship weight is accurate, so the saw would just be a little under minus the packaging. Hp would be 2/3.

I personally would not buy this chainsaw again. The oiler hole is so small that it doesn't come out and the saw runs dry a lot of time. Even when I soaked the chain overnight, it still doesn't seem to help much. Hope that helps

The packaging on the one I got was fine. My only problem was that one of the groves on the botton shelf had not been cut at at the factory. This I was able to quickly remedy with a table saw, but lacking that it could be a real problem. Otherwise I really love this cart.

The warranty it comes with isn't really worth more than the paper it's printed on, after you get into the details. Shipping this thing would be a killer, especially given how cheap it is to begin with.The good news is, if you're handy enough to use a drill press, you're probably handy enough to make whatever modest repairs it might need. I've had mine for quite a while now and use it heavily, and have had no issues.

No there is no assembly required but as w/ any chain saw you have to be able to keep the chain tightened properly otherwise you can throw the chain -- that's happened. Read the instruction manual--it's pretty simple. Again as w/ any chain saw you should be familiar W/ & be able to change the chain as well as the bar. I cut my own fire wood up here in Maine & I'm quite impressed w/ this little saw. It's great for bucking up a tree after I drop it --any thing bigger than 10 inches though gets the big gas saw. Last thing lots of oil & keep that chain sharp.
