Hi all, just purchased this unit to have as a spare unit. It was claimed in the Ebay listing that it has the ''Easy Start'' recoil system, but it clearly does not. It is almost impossible to pull the starter cord, and because of the tiny ''T'' handle, it would be easy to tear tendons in the fingers. The seller has refused to accept that it doesn't have the easy start dual spring system, and is standing their ground. I have sent them a video of the saw jumping off the floor when trying to pull the rope, and there are other youtube videos showing the same saw brand doing the same thing. I have another brand of saw, a Kuller, that HAS the dual spring system, and it can be pull started using two fingers, no effort at all. I simply cannot start this Ebay saw, and will be opening a case on it as soon as I am allowed to. If someone was strong enough to get the thing to crank over, it wouldn't be long before the very thin starter cord would snap. Just a warning to anyone considering buying one of these headaches. With the operators foot placed firmly where we all know is the correct place on the saw, pulling the starter cord results in the saw jumping and twisting out from under the foot, very dangerous IMO.
