Welcome! And a 261 is a great first saw purchase. After you get things going at your new place and are able to set yourself up a shop space/garage, get a decent small vise on a sturdy workbench so you have a spot to do chain maintenance. We have a member who makes chain vises so you can maintain your chains off the saw. Eventually you'll need to do bar maintenance as well depending on how much cutting you'll be doing. There's plenty of low-buck ways to keep your bars in good shape.

Info on the member that makes chain vises ?? I want to get one from him
