I have been working on log homes for over 10 years, often using my saws in a manner most would call unsafe. I always wear my gear at work, but I don't like chaps. I am tall and feel very exposed. I have full chainsaw pants, summer and winter, both make you sweat like crazy. While running my MS361 at home on a very hot day without my gear until my wife chewed me out and I put everything on. I had a serious kickback when my chain found a steel stake the tree grew around. It destroyed my pants and chain. Thanks to my wife and my gear All I had was a bruise. Needed new chain, pants and shorts. Best $300 I ever spent.

Yoink. Going in my old wisdom book next to "shit in one hand and wish in the other then tell me which hand fills up first."

I have been an EMT for 10 years. I have seen 2 chainsaw injuries in that time. One was a man that was cutting the branches off of a tree limb in his sandals. The chainsaw slipped and he chopped the end of his foot off. All things considered he handled it like a champ. When we got on scene he had wrapped his foot in a towel and his wife was chastising his for being unsafe and for using on of her good towels to wrap his foot. The other was a tree trimmer that was up in a tree when his saw bucked and he lost his footing on the ladder. He fell over 20ft and at some point the chainsaw embedded itself in the left side of his chest. He had a faint pulse when we got on scene but was dead by the time we rolled into the ER. Chainsaw safety is no joke. Thank you for putting these videos out.

We have a rule with guys I cut with, always engage chain brake when moving with the saw. Doesn't cost you anything, takes half a second to do, and will save you in so many ways. Running saws can easily get caught on brush, kicking up when you don't expect it. Crawling into a tangleup, chain brake control is life or death.

I was out scrounging firewood in the middle of winter, cutting up an old oak snag when the tip of my old Super 45 bar tapped a limb about the size of your little finger. When the saw stopped moving my arms were straight out above my head and the saw was horizontal, upside down and still running. Chain brakes weren't even thought of then. When you grab a saw you ought to be serious. I just thank the Almighty I was that day.

As someone who uses a saw to make a living I recommend the knee start. Put the powerhead between your legs and use your right hand to pull start the saw. Its safe, its fast it works.

@jorer33

This method and ground start are the only two methods my company allows. If you're out walking on a wet, slick timber pile or up to your eyeballs in brush, throwing the weight of a powerhead around really isn't a smart choice. Just pinch the handle between your thighs, hold the handle tight with your left hand, and rip it with your right. Nothing more manly than having your dong represented by a 36" bar.

I used the lever for the built in sharpener to clear chip buildup out more than to actually sharpen the chain.

If I'm doing a cold start I always start on the ground. After it's warmed up, drop starts become that much easier. So if you know that you have to be working above the ground, start it up and let it warm up, shut it off, then get to where you're going to be working and drop starts will be easy.

I read it just as he said it

I taught a timber harvesting course once. I had a bunch of books in the classroom and so I read them. One book was a textbook on chainsaw use. The authors went out and did the research on how people got hurt using chainsaws in the woods. What they found was that the highest rate of injuries was from people not getting a proper stance before cutting. This happens particularly when limbing or bucking falling timber. The harvester gets in a hurry and does not get a good, solid stance before beginning the cut. While watching my students I observed the same thing. They would have one foot on the ground and the other foot still moving when they began the cut. Then someone would trip. Then we would go back to the classroom and start all over again. A new student thinks that chainsawing is all about upper body strength, control and the saw itself. They tend to neglect things like taking a solid stance, looking around for tripping hazards and things on the ground that might roll.

A gun is a great analogy. Safe positioning and engaging the brake as a safety are great habits. When I'm at home I'm comfortable with shorts and bare feet but I'm pretty pedantic when it comes to positioning safely relative to the potential plane of the bar and engaging the brake before passing the saw or climbing over unstable piles of crap and have awareness and often a plan of how to react in a slip or fall.

love your channel.my new favorite on KZread.Ty for sharing all your knowledge and hard work.

One injury that I did not know or ever heard of until it happened to me from running a chainsaw is carpal tunnel syndrome. Painful and caused me to have to modify all my hand gripping behaviors. The cure is to cut the tendon and I want to avoid that for sure. My guitar playing was out of the question for months and still have pain when playing. A real hazard I had no clue about.

Drop starting. My Dad had me take my bar off and get familiar with the drop start. When I could show him I had control, he let me put the bar and chain back on and work.

Great video and tips. If I'm tired I set the brake and do a ground start. Otherwise, I set the break, the choke, and drop it like you showed. I grew up with a much much much larger saw than the little 450 Husky I run now. Seeing that Stihl with the longer bar brings back memories as a kid out in the woods with my family & our saws. 28" was the shortest one we had in our collection back then.

Loving this series. Keep it up. I'll watch every one!

Chaps are a MUST, can confirm. I was in my back half-acre last spring cutting down a stand of swamp maple, wearing my hardhat with Kevlar shield, Redwing boots and threadbare jeans (chaps were hanging in the barn), when that chain grabbed a hold of my jeans right above the knee and shredded the fabric and the skin beneath like tissue paper. Four stitches and a tetanus shot later I'd learned my lesson. ALWAYS WEAR YOUR CHAPS!

I am grateful to you for sharing your experiences with us, please keep it up. I totally agree that your brain/ experience will keep you safe and sound, the only problem I see is that most people do not exercise their brains and that common sense eludes them in most situations. Common sense will allow a person to comprehend the reasons why the rules are in place and how to avoid the consequences ( getting hurt yourself or worse yet another person. ) Common sense will also allow you to keep clear of those who it eludes. The best safety advice I could give anyone is: on a job site if you have to look around before you do something to see if anyone is watching it probably means it is not safe and you should figure another/ better/ safer way to do it.

Great information as usual. LOVE your channel.

A safer standing alternative to the drop start (especially for saws you don't have a solid feel for) is to put the handle high in between your legs, hold the saw with your left hand by the top handle, and pull the cord with your right hand. It takes away the up/down swing.

Damm I love your common sense approach to everything.

It might be worth mentioning the issue of stuck throttles. I have had at least one chain saw that more than once started with the throttle engaged and thus the chain got spinning as soon as the saw started up, a nasty experience. Makes for a good reason to never start a saw without first engaging the break. Just some advice from someone who does not use a chain saw often but does on occasion. Great instructional video, enjoyed it.

Awesome video thank you

Thank you Sir !!!! Be safe and God bless you and your family!!!!!

Solid advice thanks. You western guys with your long bars! Drop starting easy with say a 20" bar I'm a firewood guy in New England that's about as long a bar as I need. On an old jonsered 2165 love that saw. Have a Stihl 460 with a 28" bar have to be careful when drop starting. No helmet or face screen?

Well done!

That thing at the end that, that guy held in his hands 5:31 where do I get one, and do you transport it in a chilly bin?

Here in the UK we teach starting on the floor - when you first start in a day, and if your saw runs dry and finally if its sat for an hour or 2 not running. We avoid drop starting (mainly as too many people f&^k it up) but instead we stick the handle in between our legs (right up in the groin) and squeeze to stop it shifting - then with left hand on the top handle reach through and grab the starter cord with the right ... works a charm.

Great video! Thank You!!

You said it, friend, it's brain of the operator that keeps him alive. Man, I'm* thankful that outside a few years of military, and a couple decades USFS/DSL contract work, all my work years were in the private sector. And, by the way, I still have all my limbs and toes.

Great video! Thanks! Take care!

Stihl have a video about starting saws and it shows a way to start the saw standing while not drop starting, it works for me. It basically comes down to putting the rear handle between the legs then pulling the saw to one side to lock it.

Thanks Man. Really helps

Leg guards are a must. They've saved me more then once and also a working chain break.

Dont drop start them

Great tips

My favorite chainsaw? I bought an off-brand 10" bar saw at a garage sale in Mendocino about 20 yrs. ago for a dollar because kids had put water in the tank and it sat for a few years. I disassembled and cleaned it all out and ran that saw in my rural house with one hand for about a year. It started every time :-)

"So you need to know how to start your saw like a man." I nearly died laughing. Great Channel, I love the videos.

You can safely and easily start a saw without drop starting and you engage the chain brake any time you take more than two steps with a saw and any time you are moving through trip hazards. I've been running saws for work for 30 years. come on guys, stop fighting knowledge. I have a ton of guys who work for me and who I am responsible for. It takes a fraction of a second to engage a chain brake and the same to disengage. It's the same with putting the handle under the thigh and pulling a cord.

The internet needs more guys like this.

In the early 80's, before routine brakes in chainsaws, our banker was cutting small stuff for his wood stove, the tip caught a piece and kicked backed into his neck, severing the vena cava and the superior parts of his brachial plexus (the nerves going down to the arm). Pressure on the wound staunched the bleeding until he arrived at the hospital. The local neurosurgeon was busy in the OR at another hospital. The brachial plexus details are among of those neuroanatomy facts that most medical students promptly forget the day after the test. The local general surgeon and my wife put the pieces of his brachial plexus back together by referring to an anatomy book over the course of several hours. He had a great recovery ... against all reasonable expectations. Was playing golf again a couple of years later. A brake would probably have prevented that.

The Husqvarna chainsaw is just a thing of great beauty. It is a very impressive performer and if allowed to cool down before switching off, will last a lifetime of heavy day to day use. Thanks for the tips :-)

outstanding video...

I knew this would get lots of response❗️😃 I started out with McCulloch and Homelite chainsaws. They could be hard to start. When I graduated to a Stihl with a bar the same length as yours, I always drop started it. They were/are great machines. I learned by watching timber fallers. There were no tutorials or KZread. The rule was “be careful” , be aware. In eastern Oregon “chaps” is pronounced sh-aps with an “sh” sound. I bet that’s the way Cy says it.

Ive drop started my chainsaw for years ,all my working life until I went on a safety course there were two ways to start your chainsaw (if u wanted t pass the course) on the ground or with the handle(trigger bit) between your legs or groin area .ok I thought I'll do this t get my ticket.I found this just as easy as drop starting but a lot safer and now start this way all the time except when old habits surface ha ha .Anyway maybe u could try this and add it on to your chainsaw safety vid it'll give an alternative to drop starting that's a little safer.Thanks for your channel by the way I really enjoy your utude vids

Step in the handle? Just try that inside size 13 or 14 boots. Started with a 50s-era Homelite in 1974 (that didn't start unless two weeks or less just out of the shop). The vibration alone was a safety hazard. Now using Stihls, FarmBoss the biggest. At 71, that's as big as i want/need to go. Have worn out 2 Stihls on firewood and FireWise. So bless Stihls's ability to start easy. It isn't just "technique". The harder the saw is to start, the more unsafe the starting procedure becomes.

I never see anyone use the method I end up using so often. Especially for the initial cold start. Brace the saw on another object.

Does your 044 have a compression release? Our 066 does, but I rarely use it. I could see how that may help some when drop starting. Our 066 with a 32" bar weighs so much that drop starting without using the compression release is easy. Maybe that will change when we rebuilt the top end someday?
