Pro tip: watch movies at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching a lot of movies these days.

[@louiehudson9466]

@August Chad definitely, I have been using flixzone for years myself :)

[@jonrussell8519]

@August Chad Yea, have been watching on flixzone for since november myself =)

Useful video, thank you. what is the brand/name of the replacement harden steel chain blade that you are using? thank you

[@machinesdequalite]

Thank you for your comment. The brand is Stihl and I have made a video about it, you can see it on my channel.

[@lukesdewhurst]

The manual states that knut for the blade and chain should only be hand tight. Do you recommended making it bar tight?

[@machinesdequalite]

The chain should not be very tight. If you pull the chain and see bottom teeth, it is fine, more it is too lose and less too tight

[@lukesdewhurst]

@@machinesdequalite thanks

Nice video . Do you know this chaishaw have also winter and summer mode.

[@machinesdequalite]

No, not at all. All I do when I don't use it for some time is to empty the fuel from the tank

[@00cryser00]

It has sliding "mechanism" and you have to move it when operating in temperatures under 10C and it is called "Winter mode". It is located under orange cover held by 3 screws.

[@lukesdewhurst]

@@00cryser00 this model does 'not' have winter or summer mode

[@anastasiostongas8217]

@@lukesdewhurst Indeed, it has a winter/summer operation NOT "mode", like the operation Domining described above

[@lukesdewhurst]

@@anastasiostongas8217 no this version of chainsaw does not have this mode.
