Bought an Echo CS490 - 20", 50cc chainsaw. Bought the $6 Echo scabbard for it. But with the included tip guard installed on the bar, the bar won't go in the scabbard. Do people just not install those guards? Seems really odd that the scabbard made for the saw won't fit with a safety device the manufacturer includes.
I try not to make a habit of running the nose into stuff or standing directly inline with the saw....but for just an infrequent chainsaw user (24 hrs/year maybe), I'll take all the added safety I can get Is there some other generic 20" scabbard I can find somewhere that will fit with the nose guard installed? I'd like to have both. Oddly, the $130 Ryobi this replaced fit into its scabbard just fine.....and included the scabbard and case.....
