I have some different chains. Some have the tab on the drive link behind the raker, but it is the same size and you can't see it when it's straight. So, I guess that kickback tab is only exposed on the tip as it bends around the nose?

I should know this but didn't just got a new saw so I'll keep this in mind. Thanks.

The difference between a pro and joe blow👌👌

Hi, I'd like to say thank you for your videos and this channel, as a new comer to chainsaws, of which I have a very healthy respect of and am ultra cautious, oh and yes I wear full safety boots, chaps, gloves and helmet. I'm a domestic user only, mostly chainsawing up 5 tons of delivered tree trunks and then splitting for firewood on an annual basis. I think your reviews, advice and comments are grounded in straight forward common sense, gained from many years practical experience. Perfect for someone like me, simple and concise advice. Can I ask for videos on chain sharpening, chainsaw maintenance, carburettor maintenance and anything else you think appropriate for the newbee.

bravo

Thank you 1000 for this vid man

I didn't even consider looking for your 'mistake'. Wrapping my thumb around the handle just comes naturally to me.

Thanks for the reminder !

Greetings from Germany Peter czcams.com/video/PaEE5sKXGaE/video.htmlsi=twkcPpv_dExBE7S8😊

Thank you, excellent tip.

great tip thank you

Nicely done

thank you

Such long winded way to tell me not to tighten a hot chain.

Great advice! I was doing it all wrong, now I know what to do. Tx😊

Thank you for the reminder. It's one of these things that is so obvious and so often overlooked. Thanks again!

Good lesson: haven't seen that before. Thanks!

GUILTY 😔

Good tip.

Thank for the comments! With every comment, CZcams sends more users to my channel 🙂 but please don't say what you think the answer is in the comments section - it's a quiz! So as not to spoil the fun, if you guess correctly and put it in the comments I will hide the comment (nothing personal)! So all the guesses you read in the comments are incorrect.

Gotcha!

Be better if you sharpened the saw first!

The snake thing. LOL. Clever stuff though - thanks!

Great tip. Thank you.

I know this will cause an argument but its totally fine to leave a slight bit of slack in the chain. Not alot but it doesn't need to be snap tight..aslong as the teeth are running in the bar groove. I remember a STIHL technician telling me this about 20 years ago and the dangers of over tensioning. In fact the chain and cutting angles are designed with this in mind.

Thank you for that!

I did not pick up on your "mistake". I had to re watch the video. Lol

Bagus alat nya bro

If I don't feel comfortable cutting it with a bow saw I call a pro

Thank you, never thought of that.Just had a chain bar front roller fail,probably caused by this..

I heard about this years ago so got in the habit of doing just what you show: slack the chain at the end of the work day. I guess it's easy to forget that a hot chain gets longer and so a cooling chain must have an allowance, via slacking, for it to get shorter.

This is great to know; I finished using saw little bit ago and after listening went to relax the chain

Good stuff

Brilliant educational video 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Do you ever use a skidding cone?

Good Tip James 😊 Needle Bearing on Sprocket can use cleaned and Greased, just like bar tip sprocket, I Find Air like you Use is the Best Way and so Helpful makes saw run Optimum. My Neighbor is a Family from London, you Don't sound like them . Another Neighbor from Scotland I ride Horses with, you sound more like Him. Am I Right ? I Hope I'm Not being rude by asking 🎉 😊

This is in no way a hidden killer, it has been clearly stated in the user manuals for ever, from the 1950-60, as long as there has been chainsaws.

Good advice but needed less than a one minute video. Probably the most common problem for amateur video makers. Get to the point straight up then finish.

Impeccable logic, now you said it of course, it's so obvious, a hot chain! Thanks man!" ☘ 💖🙏💫

👍👍👍👍👍👊

Geez, I didn’t think of that one, thanks. Hello from Louisiana, USA.

How he lovingly wipes his saw is something I can relate with, there, I said it.

Amazing, thank you. What a useful information.

Chain adjustment done cold. Applies to everything including motorcycles.

Good catch- will check this

Something you wouldn’t think about but obvious when pointed out. Thanks for the tip. 👍

I have used chainsaw for 30 years, but i have never thought about this, but it make sense.

Really clear and helpful explanation, thank you. I have a long & short lever, but mostly use them for hung up trees. Most trees I cut are deciduous, so relatively easy to get a line up there which I often do for just in case of this. I wonder if a lever is used more for conifers ?

What are the black fittings for on the felling lever?

Very slick and totally professional. I loved the way you predicted the hinge would not break. Quick question - why a lever and not use wedges? I would have palmed a wedge in after the bar went far enough to stop the tree falling back and given it a few taps if necessary. I will add that I’m strictly amateur although I am fairly experienced. Never too old to learn though!
