Look out carvers, the bar is not as pictured

Look out carvers, the bar is not as pictured
I just received this saw today and it is not exactly as pictured. Specifically, the bar and chain. We bought this for trimming straw bales in building a straw bale house. We need to do a lot of carving with the tip. The saw we got has an anti-kickback device at the tip. Rather than spending more money and waiting a couple more days for a replacement bar and chain, we're going to try removing the device as described in a couple of other reviews. So my three-star review may get updated. Still, anyone looking to buy this should know that you can't cut with the tip, not out of the box. Several reviewers also mention this surprise.Update: I'm updating my rating from 3 stars to 5. My brother, who is skilled and well-equipped, ground off the two rivets holding the safety tips/anti-kickback device so that we could carve with the tip. He was careful to only grind off enough so that the rivets wouldn't be completely removed, because he was concerned that the nearby sprocket oiling hole, if used, might leak oil out the resulting holes. Or something like that. See the pictures; unfortunately I did not photograph it before the tip guard was removed.
