RE: Got Myself A Chainsaw. I'm A Little Nervous.
I literally just got my first chainsaw too. And, yes, was nervous. It's a little Makita - 40cm. Worked like a charm, slicing through the wood like butter. Seriously pleased with it, especially for the price.
Good to see I'm not on the only one making a foray into chainsaws. Unfortunately after a couple hours work the chain got caught and as a result, the teeth warped so it didn't sit in the bar correctly. New chain arrived today though and it's back to normal again. Phew!
These power tools require a lot of attention and service, don't they? And something always bends or breaks right in the middle of a project.
Yesterday I took the deck off a riding lawn-tractor so I could replace the blades. Turned out to be simple enough (didn't bother finding the manual for this one) and took a couple hours' work altogether. I can't believe the difference the new blades make!
Be careful with your chainsaw! Is it gas or electric?
I bet it's cutting like a dream now!
Yep - it's a gas chainsaw - my first use of one as I've always used electric before. Beautiful machine but glad it's working again now.
Yeah, it was one of those simple fixes where I wondered why I hadn't done it before.
Then I looked up a YouTube video on how to change the oil and was like, that's it?
