Just bought my first chainsaw for a small job at home, had no idea how much equipment and training/knowledge is needed...wish I had just paid someone to come do the job now....but appreciate this thorough video. This is really helpful for someone like me, with no experience. I need some more reasons to use a chainsaw to make all this equipment and learning this worth it now.😬
I just bought my first one too for some jobs at home. We've got a lot of dead logs to cut up. Spent a lot on PPE safety gear too but I also work in horticulture and landscaping so see it as more of an investment! Maybe you can try to do some odd jobs for people now you have the equipment? Just be sure to think about insurance and obviously don't take on jobs that are too big. I'll leave that sort of stuff to the arborists!
Thanks for including the tips on PPE (personal protective equipment) at the beginning of the video. Very important information that could potentially save a life!
I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle th-cam.com/users/postUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and it did a great job. I used the lever for the built in sharpener to clear chip buildup out more than to actually sharpen the chain. It managed to cut some hardwood stumps much larger than it's size without bothering the neighbors with hours of 2 stroke noise.
Por que não colocam uma haste removível de aço emborrachado por fora em paralelo acima da corrente, com angulação ate 90 graus para cima? Pode cortar forçando para baixo mas não para cima. Em caso de kickback a haste protegeria contra corte. Estou pensando em adquirir uma ferramenta dessas. Obrigado pela aula.
What happens when you are cutting through a soft substance then you hit something really hard? and then the red liquid is gumming up your chainsaw. Also how do you get the tree to stop screaming at your and hitting you.
I find I have to make good use of what ropes I've got and really tieback the limbs so they can't hit me. The only way I've managed to reduce (unfortunately not stop) all the splash, is to wait until winter to attack, !ahem! I mean start the job, then leave in the snow overnight to freeze before cutting 👍
Yeah sure leave the chain brake on when your walking around with the chainsaw... Stihl won't fix it when you burn out the sprocket/clutch bearing but will be more than happy to blame any issue that comes to the workshop on 'user' error...
I sure wish the stihl dealers a would stop selling black chaps their hot n not high visibility. And for b I wish the dealers could get those technical chaps in
Any chance of getting a script of the question and answer for Tip 8 please? I couldn’t hear the student or the teacher (I think the mic wasn’t angled for the student, and the music was too loud over the teacher for this one).
Ok so i dissagree that u need to put chain break on when not in use. If u need to stop for that long u should be turning the saw off. If you put the saw down turn it off. Its like the breaks on your car yes, make sure it works but dont overuse it or you will be replacing it when it breaks, just creating more cost for maintaining the saw ... The way he teaches her to hold the saw, if it kicks back her hand wont even touch the chain break
5:14 is incorrect. Drop starting a chainsaw is perfectly safe as long as you have engaged the chain brake. Since the chain simply cannot move, how the hell are you supposed to be able to hurt yourself by drop starting a saw?
Drop starting will possibly break the plastic toothed gear inside. It is also not as well controlled as putting handle between legs. Turn off the testosterone, and think like an adult.
@@richardc8129 I am already fifty-two and mildly obese, my body does not bend into difficult positions :-) That is why I find it easiest to smoothly drop start my saw. I am careful to always engage the chain brake. Testosterone has nothing to do with it.
Chaps offer no protection? They will stop a chainsaw chain by gumming up the sprocket before getting through all layers of fabric. Check out some videos
0:15 I legit thought old mate was a safety mannequin until he moved LOL
hahahahahhaha

This is why any contractor work is expensive, because it’s not just the tools, it’s knowing how to use them and safely.

I don't know why these safety videos always forget to mention to *not* read the Necronomicon before using a chainsaw.

Ents must die
A big thank you all the way from Kiribati!
nice safety tips but was looking for how to cut trees and branches still on the tree itself. ty
Yeah sure leave the chain brake on when your walking around with the chainsaw...
Stihl won't fix it when you burn out the sprocket/clutch bearing but will be more than happy to blame any issue that comes to the workshop on 'user' error...
That’s not a Stihl rule but just a rule that even us professional arborists use
thank you very much for uploading the video... it really helped me
Thanks from Central Asia. I'll do my best.

VERY helpful: merci amigo & amiga.
EXCELLENT!!!
Wow, now I need to go get me a spiffy new chainsaw costume.
Great, thank you
Thank you
Great tips when you come across a forest of trees laying on saw horses already
😮
Get rid of the annoying music. Why is this necessary..??
How much. Thousands?

What the fuck? I just paid $400 for the MS250 and I feel it isn’t sharp. Why didn’t they say anything about a chain sharpener????
And I should have watched this before cutting around
This chick makes even safety gear look good.
i agree
Kinda the point
A verrry old marketing technique.
_Attractive female+product=$$$_
I don’t know what it is but a good looking gal with a nice thick Aussie accent is like cat nip to me.
Getting thirsty from a chainsaw safety video is a new one
Imagine being Australian
straya.
Ye fuckin bogan ya!
I'd emigrate in a heartbeat but I'm too freaking old 👴🏻
Who else thought Bret was a shop dummy at the beginning?
I wonder if Stihl is getting paid for all the other companies using their training videos.
The safer people are anywhere anytime all the better for Stihl.
I need to get on a ladder and saw some trees! 🌳😭
nice
Came from chainsaw man
😊👌
a helmet...
lol guys
Who knew I had to spend $500 to be protected
My ambulance bill was $1000 alone when I went without it. 250k for the hospital and months out of work. 500 is pocket change.
@@LiLoTech good point
great rack
Bret looked like a mannequin
You would think this is helicopter pilot training.

Jaakko Oksa Sometimes people forget to engage the chain brake .
Tyler that is the main reason not to teach drop starting. Otherwise, Jaakko is not wrong
Drop starting will possibly break the plastic toothed gear inside. It is also not as well controlled as putting handle between legs. Turn off the testosterone, and think like an adult.

@@jaakkooksa5374 Listen son, I'm a month away from 70, I still don't drop-start, and I bend just fine. I find the video to be CORRECT, including 5:14.
That's what arborists are for 😅

Chaps offer you no protection; I wear 'chainmail' when using a chainsaw.
Assless chaps are dangerous to the public as well.
@@ItsAllG00d
Assless chaps are convenient when you're in a rush to go to toilet.

"Chaps" only protect the chainsaw from bone and flesh clogging up the works.
My step son used my chainsaw and he only has one arm. I told him to leave it in the shed, but he will not listen to me, by the way he is 42 years old.
I use a Stihl 090 with no chainbrake. Chainbrakes and chaps are for women and gays.

hi sweet cheeks ❤
Howd u hospital bill go
