    In the promotional video; which didn't show the woman using it to cut celery; I prefer the AvE promotional vid lol, it shows the woman cutting a shelf board. Come on now, that would be the last tool to use; it is hard enough to cut a straight cut with a circular saw without a guide. The only use I really see it is for doing small trimmings of trees and bushes in the garden. The tip needs a guard even if the saw is low torque because it can still come into contact with something and kick back and since one is holding it with one hand and not two as in a regular chainsaw that thing could easily kick back and hit one in the face. Bosch, are you ready for the lawsuits? I suggest users lock their elbow when using it where the tip could come into contact (Does it cut in the same direction as a regular chainsaw?).

    AvE took it apart if you want to watch the vid.
