5:50 the most important part

[@jasonhoyt8232]

I freaking love mine! I recently processed through about 1/2 a cord of wood! NO complaints.

[@robolasher]

I have one of too and was almost but not quite sure about tightening the blade. TY

[@jazonflux]

If you press and hold the power button for like 5 seconds it turns on turbo mode(light turns yellow) and gives you a bit more power for thicker limbs.

Good info, thanks!

[@jesshothersall]

Thank you so much, having never built a chainsaw before I couldn't work out how to get the chain round the blade and socket until you showed me how to change the tension! Now it's built, though I didn't get one of those bumper pieces in my box, how important is that part and what exactly does it do? Also, my brake doesn't click, and though it moves, it doesn't do anything, the blade is still whizzing round wherever the brake is? Update; sorted, found I'd put saw together with brake backwards (on), dismantled, pushed it forward then put back together, and now it brakes. Is quite hard to push though

[@UltimateToolReviews]

Glad it helped, but that key chainsaw safety feature should work, if the saw kicks back and doesn’t brake the chain it could seriously injure you. I would return or get it repaired.

[@jesshothersall]

@@UltimateToolReviews Thanks for responding, finally realised I had it in 'On' position when building saw, took it apart, put the brake in stopped position, and all good now, thanks again for speed of answer :)

Amazing how many of these videos don't show how to properly tighten the chain. Definitely check the manual. Otherwise good overview.

[@frankwoodbery2473]

Yeah, absolutely not like he did it.

[@peterfadul4845]

is it legal to buy chain saw like this or need a permit
