Hi Buckin, you are such a positive & uplifting teacher!! This video is so important for all of us who have trouble starting a high cc “power saw”! I have no problem starting my Stihl 181 - but it’s quite a chore for me to start Tim’s 500i. I used to push the decompression button, but I’ve recently been trying the way I see you slowly pulling your saws 2 or 3 times before starting them. This has helped me a lot. As a woman, I naturally lack the upper body strength that helps you and most men make this process look effortless 🤷🏻♀️ BUT, what I lack in physical strength, I make up for with determination, and once I get that thing started, it’s music to my ears and I love how much power it has! (Just an old grandma’s opinion!😊) Thank you for always making each of us feel like we are perfect just the way we are! 🥰

Great tutorial Buck. I'm 69yrs old and weigh just 140lbs, I've been starting saws exactly the way you do. Putting your foot in the base of the handle and bending over to try and start your saws is a good way to snatch your sciatic nerve and give yourself hell for months. Throwing your saw down is y far the easiest and in my opinion the safest way always, to start your saw. Thanks for all your advice, keep at it Buck.!

Stihl manuals mention both the ground method and leg lock method as acceptable. I like the leg lock as I don't have to bend over for it. A trick I like is to gently pull until the first "pop" where it passes top dead center. Then, let it retract and do a full-length pull. Chikanic explains it better (with a demonstration as well). Drop starting/pull starting is definitely beneficial for larger saws though.

Great tutorial Billy! Your drop starting method has the same mechanics involved as drawing a heavy compound bow. If you are a right handed bow shooter, you don't extend the left arm out and then draw the string back with just your right arm. You simultaneously push out the bow with your left arm and draw back the string with your right thereby dividing the effort between the two arms. See you at Bunyan friend!

Hi Buckin, Rolling the saw over slow really works very well to get the fuel pulled up into the carb. I have been using that method going on 3 years now, getting older makes a person think about how to do things with a little less effort. Half the time when cold starting my saws they will false start on the 3rd or 4rth slow roll from that point another 1or 2 pulls and off to the races. I find this method to be much easier on starter parts and pull cords.

I have 3800 videos but don’t believe that is one of them . But I believe wedgemanship wood come into play . Situational of course. I remember at the end of the day once last tree got lazy and she sat back. No room for wedges . I was in a pinch long way to the truck for my spare . So I chopped a sapling about 12” long and used it as a push pole. But I couldn’t push the tree over as the hinge was to big , but was able to lift the tree off the saw, but of course I was 10 feet from the tree and could reach the saw to pull it out . So I pulled my tape out and ravelled it around the pull cord and when I push the tree up I pull the saw out with my tape and pull cord . I was proud of my self for that one

Working at a hospital the only starting injury I have seen was a guy ground starting a saw that lost his footing and fell on the saw. So those injuries are more significant due to the body weight hitting the chain. My Dad ran tree trimming crews for utility companies and saw the same thing happen to a guy. So if guys are going to ground start a saw it needs to be on some good footing. I have started saws using every method in the last 35 years. Just depends on the situation. Rarely have the need to ground start.

In high school, I poured molten aluminum, ran both arc and gas welders, and used a metal lathe, metal cutting bandsaws, etc in metal shop. If I can do all that w/o burns or other injuries, I think I can drop start a chainsaw safely...
