As I’m getting older, 32 now with a young family; I am starting to appreciate the need for protecting oneself. An ounce of prevention/safety is worth a pound of cure. Thanks for setting a good example.

Good advice on making several partial cuts before doing the complete cut and rolling it over. I've always done it one at a time, but your way looks more productive.

Never thought of using the length of the blade as a measuring tool to get accurate lengths.. pretty sure that's stuck in my head now.

I got a job at a landscaping company. I've got to cut up a downed tree tomorrow. I've never really used a chainsaw before. I'm just going to go for it. I learned a lot from watching. Thank you

Always be learning! That’s what I’m doing. I’ve got a lot of family up in the Main and NH area. In fact my Grandfather who taught me to run a saw was from up there. You’ve got lots of smart people to learn from!

You have the Easy Start on that saw. I have one that has it as well and I find that it works great. I read and hear a lot of negative stuff about them but I guess it's because people try to start them like a normal saw(?).

Yeah. I got reprimanded by the guy from STIHL when he saw me try to start it with a full hard pull after I first got it. Two quick half pulls and it starts every time.

Thx, very informative. I have some older felled trees that are "soiledl" and partly decomposed underneath - any suggestions for minimizing chain damage after brushing off as much of the soiled material and getting to it? Thx

Any suggestions on a downed tree that is straight and flat on the ground but you can't roll it due to obstacles? In that case i will try to cut it as short as possible and lift it. I thought i saw some lay something on the ground beforehand or notch it at the stump but that is beyond me.
