    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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 👍🇦🇺.

    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.

    Пила мощная надёжная это понятно но нахера было пилить хорошее стройное свежее дерево это просто дешёвые понты... Сам занимаюсь расчисткой и восстановлением садов и парков поэтому знаю что говорю!

    One thing I was wanting to ask do you put any white lithium grease on your needle bearing behind the clutch cover. I try and keep it lubricated as much as I can when I deep clean everything. It’s what my stihl dealer recommended thanks again I try and keep watching every video you post thank you
