I received this chainsaw from somebody who had taken it apart because they were not aware of the interlock switch/safety. A spring is included . . .?

Ensure that the chain is for a Poulan saw, and is in the track and chain has little movement when tightened.

It is not a spring assisted open.The only 'spring' is the liner lock that keeps the blade locked when extended and provides friction to keep it shutIt is one hand openable

Those springs are the most important part!! You will not be dissappointed!! Awesome swing.. I went back and bought another!!

No! it is like a Chain saw and has a feature where you have to pull a lever back with your thumb in order to depress the trigger. I would think a Trigger lock would be not very safe.

The blades are small, sharp bits of steel attached at intervals along the chain. They do not come off. The chain is pulled along the bar by the motor. It is dangerous to operate the chainsaw if the chain is not properly tightened. And it is normal for it to become loose if you are using it for fifteen minutes or more. If the chain gets loose during a cutting project, tighten it with the combo flat head screwdriver/hex wrench that came with the owner's manual, or find the right size crescent wrench and any flat head screwdriver. The two-part adjustment is on the bar. One nut adjusts tension, the other deals with slack, like a cassette player. Turn one, then the other, until your chain is snug against your bar. Then tighten both adjustments with the wrench. And remember that the links of the chain have ball bearings that need to be oiled frequently by pressing the bar oil button while the motor pulls the chain about, but not while sawing logs. Hope this helps. Merry Christmas.

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.

Spring load clamp "jaws" that it comes with. If you are trying to cut something like a floor where you can't get a clamp underneath (i.e. a C-clamp wouldn't work), then you just need to get creative ....

Probably not since I wouldn't recognize a safety interlock anyway, so I'm guessing it doesn't have safety locks. I'll add that I'm completely satified with the burner. I use it a lot without any problems.

I would also like to know. I did not get one with my saw either. I need one to tighten my chain.

There is no locking mechanism. It has a spring loaded latch either up or down

Confirming that Maida is correct and Philip is not. While you usually have to keep your finger on the trigger to keep it running, if you pull the lock button all the way back while it's running, it will stay locked. Arguably this is "less safe" - power tools are inherently dangerous any way. This one (supposedly) cuts 3/4" branches, while other "safer" models cut only 1/2" or 5/8". This makes it more likely to accidentally sever a human digit. So it depends on whether you want a safe tool, or one that does the job it's designed to do.

Hi yes there is a spring but it doesn't help in recoil just in adjusting elevation you can't see it in the picture it is right where the arm pivots the weight you put on the sled cuts the recoil I like mine 3 1/2 magnum 12 gauge and no pain

No, it is not a switchblade. It just means it makes it easier to open and springs out.

Apparently it got out of adjustment. You have to adjust and lock down the adjustment before using the saw. It's the same as a regular chain saw but electric. Same care must be taken.

Comes with a tool to loosen the bolts and screw the bar adjustment. Haven't been able to get mine started for months so I haven't needed to adjust the chain. I wouldn't buy this chainsaw again, ever.

Yes this is spring loaded. You can turn the lock a quarter turn to keep in in the unlocked position if desired. If not set at a quarter turn the spring will automatically lock when the door us put back in the closed position.

No. All the parts are steel. The coil spring spacers, snd the leaf spring sblocks are all steel. The kit is very eady to put on. Using a floor jack it took me approx 45MIN. on rear and 1.5- 2hr on front. Thats using a floor jack and jack stands and a ir impact wrench. I also made sure when I was done to verify tightness by using a hand ratchet. After I went and had it re aligned and drove it approx. One humdred miles I checked everything and retightened everything though nothing was loose. Hope this helps
