Daily maintenance STIHL ms 500i

[@scott6052]

I rarely did any of the things to my saw that you do. After watching your videos I take much better care of my saw. Thanks for the tips.

[@Femalelumberjack]

Glad to hear you started to care for your saws! 😊

[@billyshumate853]

So nice to see you again. Always take care of your saw's and they will last a lot longer. Take care and have a blessed week and I'll see you on your next video or on Facebook.

Thank you

Hi Felixia Thanks for sharing your information on Maintenance cleaning your saws air compressor it’s a great idea i do the same thing. My friends see me doing that and laugh at me I suppose that’s why my saws always run at their best. I have just purchased 500i and very happy 😊 with this new saw . It’s nice to see a gorgeous female lumberjack endorsing and using STIHL products stay safe.

[@jwvencill3819]

Kudos to you for taking very care of your babies 👏👏

[@normanmallory2055]

Very well done ! I do the same thing to my saw at the end of a cutting day ! It pays off !

[@Femalelumberjack]

Felixia its great to see you hope all is well with your business. Cutting n logging heavy in new Jersey and Pennsylvania going into the best time of year for it . 500 i is great saw . Keep cutting girl n be safe.

Great to see you back! Must get a compressor !

[@Femalelumberjack]

[@carltondoorman9145]

Good to see you back again! I'm always impressed with how well you know your equipment. I use an electric chain saw the rare times I need to cut something because I can't keep those small gas engines running. That's funny, because I do all my own work on my van. I need to watch more videos like this one!

[@Femalelumberjack]

I’m sure you’d learn it very quickly

[@adrianello92]

stilhs 452c... ms170 test?

[@longlowdog]

If you only use small two strokes occasionally it really is worth buying Stihl long life fuel and premium two stroke oil. Regular pump gas breaks down and varnishes small engines. Bad fuel makes more saws end up in yard sales than anything else. Then the guys who buy them spend half an hour on the bench and get yet another cheap saw with barely more than break in hours on it.

[@adrianello92]

happy New Year

[@dteasdale77]

Thank you for your helpful videos! I feel much more comfortable using and maintaining my chainsaw because of your videos. I don't have an air compressor so I use a brush but it doesn't do as good a job and it takes longer. If I used my saw everyday I'd get one. I only use my saw on weekends or when I get a day off.

I would love to have a STIHL 500i as I need one to clear land for our OFF-grid home, but I cant afford the price tag for that chainsaw!!! liked#660 and subscribed!!!

[@alltreesallseasons]

Gotta say since I bought the 500i I’ve been very impressed I have to get a light bar but she’s a beast!

[@kwspreu]

Love my 500i. Your video review of the saw was one of the first one's I saw before shelling out the cash for this bad boy!!! Thanks 😁

[@patrickj6271]

Thanks for that. My 500 has a bent inner plate that seems to allow more oil around the inner area. This clogs up with the dust and blocks the oiler holes on the bar.

[@FredFlintstone21]

Awesome video thanks for sharing! There are many videos if you search 500i air filter problems apparently dust can get past underneath the plastic knob that removes air filter and then goes into engine. I ordered upgraded airfilter from egan performance saws for my 500i i just bought today!

[@samadams9557]

Be interested to see how you put a saw away that you may not use for a while. I uses mine pretty regularly but it’s no longer my profession so at times I can go a couple months without using. I have my own system. Like to know yours at some point. Thanks for the video!

[@Femalelumberjack]

G'day FLJ, do you have to bore cut in those trees ? I like to run a piece of hack saw blade with the sides of the teeth ground off down the bar groove from the sprocket nose down to clean right in there and a few drops of oil when reassembling the bar and chain so it's already lubricated instead of being dry and waiting for the pump to send it out 👍🇦🇺.

[@alongdecember2626]

Hello Felixia...always great to see your video! In the Northeast US, i don't see any of the new hexa filing. Questions: I have always round filed and want to experiment with chisel filing. Does the hexa file chain perform similar? Or is a hexa filed chain suited better just for felling? I cut primarily hickory and chestnut oak. Would love to hear your thoughts.

[@davidgiampietro3567]

Curious as to why one of the dogs are missing from your 500I. Also, I notice that you are using the original air filter that came with the Stihl, why haven't you replaced it as so many others have on this saw? Have you had any modifications done and if yes why? Your comments would be much appreciated.

[@sherwinsalvatori6997]

I got a bg56 I haven't use in a year and a half . I try to use it last week and realize the prime bulb dried rot so I have to replace it. I got a ms170 early winter use it twice . What next size you think I should get

[@leecollins4796]

Thank you for the instruction video.

[@leifwilson7053]

How often do you grease the clutch drum bearing? What do you think of Stihl's fuel and oil caps? I much prefer the older style. The new ones let debris in when you open them.

[@happycamper6352]

I know you're not asking me, but I'll reply anyway. We don't ever grease anything on the saws despite using them for hours every day for years. Maybe the service store does when we have them looked at once a year in January, but I'm not sure what all they do. Even that's probably a waste of money because they come back with a clean bill of health most of the time. Somehow they don't seem any worse for wear. They just keep cutting. Maybe I'm tempting fate. Who knows.

Do you use only the Stihl fuel? The couple of people I've talked with (including the Stihl service tech) said that the only problem they've seen Auth these is when the operator uses gas station fuel. There seems to be no issues when running Stihl fuel Except the cost of the fuel

[@br-dj2ti]

You need to get a bark box for that 500 I it really woke mine up

[@patrickpoulard24]

I always make sure to clean my 500i and other chainsaws very thoroughly after each and every use. Sawdust will make your chainsaw bite the dust sooner than it should. 💀💀💀💀 It takes a while but I make sure to get rid of all of the sawdust. 👍🏿😊 #stihlpower

[@DJC995]

[@Femalelumberjack]

[@chrisehrig1591]

Agree basically with most of what you said in the video. However, having been a mechanic for well over 30yrs I can tell you & all your followers unequivocally that you should “NEVER EVER” clean or blow out any form of air filter element with compressed air. It will damaged the filter medium, allowing larger particles thru than OEM specifications & you’ll find that you end up with what’s basically a “dusted” powerhead. The cylinder bore & piston will end up looking like they’ve been attacked with a sand blaster. Tap the dust out onto a firm surface sure, but compressed air is a no go!!

[@christian109]
