A guy goes to the his local garden store looking to buy a chain saw. He tells the salesman he needs to cut 10 cords of wood and needs a chain saw up for the task. The salesman sells him what he thinks is the ideal saw at the lowest price. The following day the customer returns, tosses the saw on the counter telling the same salesman that "the saw is useless and that it took him all day just to cut a 1/2 a cord".

The salesman accepts the return and sells the man a more powerful saw only to have him return the following day with the same complaint. The salesman again accepts the return and sells the man a 3rd saw, his most powerful saw...assuring the man that the 3rd saw is far more powerful than he could ever need.

The next day the man returns with the same complaint leaving the salesman puzzled. The salesman grabs the saw, pulls the cord, and the saw roars to life without a hitch. The customer is clearly startled and quickly covers his ears exclaiming "why is it making all that noise"?

I think I have a Remington too, a telescoping pole saw. Works surprisingly good and moves effortlessly through the densest of wood on it's own weight. Use a gas Poulan on anything I can reach from the ground as it works far better.

Beat me to it! I found a variation on this in an old Alaska joke book about cheechakos.

I woundn't be surprised if the chain was on backwards. The Chain is made to only go on one way.
If you could post a picture i tell you if it's on correctly.
