Along with chaps and lots of advise-safety--cutting firewood together sounds fun.--cool.....Uh oooo--What if she catches CAD:sweet::sweet::sweet::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
Hey fellas, just got a new phone and had some catching up to do. One thing to keep in mind is chaps are not very effective with electric saws. Anyways I have an electric Homelite pole saw that has been very handy around the yard. Very affordable too.

Welcome back! And yes I have heard the same thing, chaps kill the engine of a two strokes because it locks the piston during the combustion cycle, but since an electric is a different type of motor it renders the chaps useless.
 
Maybe the part about it killing the engine was a fib, I forget where I read it.
i think it does a little of both Kensie. don't know anything about electrics but the chaps do bind up in the bar and chain too. on a gas saw it binds up the clutch and stops the saw like a chain brake.
