well i would like to supplement your monologue here a little and critique you on some other issues.
the kickback on the smaller saw is higher because of the power to weight ratio with the heavier pro saws you have the inertia of mass slowing down the whole kickback event.
correction: most cuts are not from kickback. most are cuts to the upper thigh because the user was hugging the saw, raising it above their waist line and then walking with the motor running and both hands on the saw. as soon as you lift your leg to step over ANY little thing on the ground – BANG the saw gotcha in the thigh.
the way you start the saw is only recommended when the engine is flooded and you have to open the throttle fully to get the fuel out of the cylinder. it sounds paradoxical but that is the way a two stroke engine is. the safest drop down way is to hold the saw with your left hand and the starter rope in the right, run up on compression, let the rope spool back in as far as it will go and then give it a good tug while allowing the saw to fall slightly
the chain brake handle on huskys usually has a small metal weight to help with the inertia in a kickback event. so that way the brake will engage no matter what position the saw is in.
Thx for sharing this beautiful knowledge man I really appreciate it
If a chainsaws do not have blades what's being sharpened?
damn thanks!
Thank you sir; much wisdom shared.
👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I am legally blind and do not use a chainsaw often, but when I do SAFETY is first and foremost on my mind. A project area has to be kept free of debris. Even if that means stop cutting often and clearing recent cuts away. Only way I will use a ladder and a saw is if it can be anchored in place. Properly sharpened chains is a must. I would rather buy a new chain than use a dull or poorly sharpened one. When using power tools like chain saw, table saw, skill saw or even a drill, never never force it or try to work faster than the tool can go. Never use power tools when fatigued, frustrated. angry or in a hurry.
Hey sir you are real texas chainsaw.
At no point did you teach how to adjust the chain or bar or talk about the basics of operating a chainsaw. Maybe watch this if you want to be half a hero?

Excellent video. Thank you.

Hello,
Excellent video.
I have a question. Why does my chain become dull so quickly? What am i doing wrong.
Did you know that a chainsaw was invented to assist in removing the pelvic bone during birth… Food for thought!!
I have owned a Husqvarna chainsaw for about six years. It is a very good saw, but it is getting hard to start and it leaks bar chain oil if you don’t drain the reservoir when I just let the saw sit over time. Doesn’t matter what position it will drip out all over the floor. My biggest issue with it though being left-handed is it is extremely hard to pull the cord because I have to put my right foot in the handle and pull with my left hand. This complicates matters because I cannot do that and pull the trigger if I need to increase the throttle a bit to get it to start. Any suggestions? I’m looking into getting a 251 CE Stihl chainsaw.
Chain saw basics. Always keep a tourniquet close at hand, just in case you have an accident. I don’t care how careful you are, you never know. Especially if you are alone, it could save your life.
This man is just too cute! I love the way he presents the information – I smiled the whole time. 😊👏🏼
Dude, I want to feel like more of a man. Thanks!
Hi man, I really enjoyed your video, I will pay attention to all you mentioned and thanks for sharing your valuable knowledge with me!!
Thanks 👍

Good tutorial. Just a bit of feedback…Chainsaws, like all tools, are not dangerous. The people using the tool is the problem. Hearing and eye protection are the most important due to noise and particulates (sawdust). Most other PPE is there to prevent injury due to complacency (eye and ear PPE are exception). Awareness of your space, work area, people around you, footing are vital. Ignorance and complacency is what gets you and others injured or killed.
Chainsaws aren't dangerous, just like cars aren't dangerous (mostly for the same reasons)
I stepped barefoot on a chainsaw blade the other day not paying attention I sat it down on the floor by the table and forgot it before going to bed. Christ I bled like a stuck pig. Don't be me. Never tread on a chainsaw blade. Especially if it's sharp as a tack!
"That's a safety feature that will protect you…don't defeat it". Couldn't stop laughing 🙂
Amazing communication skills Sir. Incredibly clear. Thank you!
If you need any help burning that wood, let me know.
Just what I was looking for. I always get a lot from your videos, THANK YOU!
The wife used my Husqvarna 395xp with a 28inch bar today for 2 cuts, like you, she has her own saw!!!
I m so love you talk way
It's gonna come with a shield… Keep it!
(throws the shield away)
Our trainer showed the safety of doing a tip plunge cut into any tree over one foot in diameter before cutting it down. Rotten centered trees can explode, or twist out of control FAST. The plunge cut is a good one to teach … carefully!!
The blade is spinning in the direction to pull down. Going up your in reverse basically.
Helpful information, glad I watched this before venturing in to using my Skil power core electric….complete novice, here.
Jonsared are good saws to..
I prefer husky over stihl myself… don't know many guys that can hold a saw up all day long… 372xp 36" bar.. w/ full skip chain…
Fantastic advice. Great analogy about the freeway.
