Chainsaw Winter Mode Conversion - Little Known Feature - Stihl, Echo & Others

[@Dan-qy1rg]

Good reminder, I always forget to switch those until after the winter is over or close. I'll have to check mine and change them! Thanks for reminding me, have a good week!

Thanks!

Very interesting! I can honestly say i did not know about this.

[@HumbleHaymakers]

Thanks! I think it has more to do with keeping the carb and air cleaner from icing?

Nice to know. Happy holidays.

[@HumbleHaymakers]

Thanks - same to you… 👍

Good information! I need to check my Ryobi for this.

[@HumbleHaymakers]

Thanks! Not familiar with Ryobi chainsaws, I’ll have to look them up.

I had no idea! I have to go check my Stihl. We use our MS170 year round for farm-related work.

[@HumbleHaymakers]

I took a look-see at the online manual for the 170 and didn’t see a reference to summer/winter mode?

[@Rollinghillsfarmsmn]

@ I haven’t looked at mine yet.

I hope I didn't ruin my electric saw!
