I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle kzread.infoUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and it did a great job. I used the lever for the built in sharpener to clear chip buildup out more than to actually sharpen the chain. It managed to cut some hardwood stumps much larger than it's size without bothering the neighbors with hours of 2 stroke noise.

*Coming up on having had this saw for a year....am a casual user and bought it to cut up sections for bowl blanks. Easy to start, **Bestfor.Garden** also recommend even after storage for a couple of months. Simple chain tension adjustment. Just cut up some 20" Osage Orange, including ripping bolts in half (at an angle). Like butter!*

I been cutting firewood as a business since 1979. I started out running Husqvarna 2100(99cc) and the 266xp. Never had a problem. One must understand the Husqvarna xp saws are a very high rpm. The chain must be razor sharp to get the best performance out of the saw, time is money. I make one pass with a file on every gas up. I like the cutting speed to be the fastest when felling trees. At the end of the day the air filter gets cleaned, the bar nose gets a shot of grease, once a week the clutch bearing gets greased, the bar gets checked squareness.

Good old saws Bill, my 266 is still going as strong now as when I got it way back. Your spot on with your maintenance, you only get out what you put in. Happy cutting

Thank you for taking the time to explain in depth on how to properly maintain a chainsaw

This guy knows his saws; amazing inservice with no notes or teleprompters. I wish he worked at our dealership!

This was not 27 mins out of my life this IS 27 mins that has probably saved my life, I learned so much have saved it to watch again, great tutorial from someone who knows his stuff Many thanks

Absolutely a mountain of information! I'll have to watch this several times to grasp it all. This guy is super knowledgeable. Thank you for the video!

OMG, rewatched it to check out the 5ft saw on the floor. Amazed.

Incredible! The best overall explanation of chainsaw maintenance that I have seen. Thank you!

Thank you. Excellent detail about the accuracy and reasons for tooth profiles, shame that these are not explained so well in the manuals. Clear and straightforward, very helpful.

This is the best chainsaw maintenance video I have ever seen so far, I don't have a Husqvarna chainsaw but I do have a chainsaw and sharpening the blade is a nightmare I hate it, the guy in this video has explained it so well, that now I think it gonna be a lot easier from now on :)

I love my 450 Husky, but Stihl makes the best chain sharpener.

dude you know your shit. give this man a raise.

Good tip given in the video - engage the choke lever to block the carb before removing the air filter to prevent accidental blockage from debris.

file guide is for anyone who wants the angle right and the teeth filed correctly. All amateurs need this!

Basics, but people do not care enough to do these things in this video. Filing is all bout practise and sure u need to understand how a chain works

Holy crap, I grabbed my father in laws chainsaw and just went to town on cutting things down. I realize how arrogant and naive I was. Thank God for videos like this and so many others. I've been really lucky. Now I am well informed and more cautious. I've watched 60 hours of training video and I've learned that even guys with 30 years experience still make mistakes.

Fantastic! I would have been satisfied paying $39 or more for this excellent instructional video. A very comprehensive detailed easy to understand tutorial. THANKS HUSQVARNA!

I've never seen anyone so knowledgeable about chainsaws - nice job! (I watched the whole video!)

this is the best chainsaw video I've seen. The most informative. Clear. And the man is very knowledgeable

A pleasure to watch and learn. Thankyou.

just came across this video after having some issues with my saw and wanting to get a bit better at using it. This is a very thorough, well done instructional video. I learned a few tips that I was unaware of. Thank you.

How about some tips for untangling the blankety-blank chain after you pull it out of the box and it's got all of the loops in it! Arrrghhh lol.

Great video! I've been cutting my own firewood and cutting trees for others for five years now. I really enjoyed the video and learned a few great new tips that I can't wait to put into practice. Thanks for helping me up my tree killin' skills.

Thank You !!! The dime trick and petpals card worked great in the grove. I used a ski edge sharpening file which has a square. Also, I put the chain on backwards first...then remembered....Thanks much for the video from a non-mechanic. Very clear and helpful !

How can anyone dislike this? This fella is a fountain of knowledge and he gets right to the point. Thanks man!

Thankyou very much for a very compact and informative video. This is very helpful for me I cut 20 m3 of wood each year and its important to know how to maintain the saw properly.

best chain saw video yet...

Superb vid, this guy really knows his stuff !

Thank you. That is a very thorough review of chainsaw maintenance and I learned some new items. Michael

Thank you for the video, it's very well explained. The detail in this video I will surly use to keep my chain saws on good working order. Thanks .

Came here to watch a simple video. After watching I learned a new language! Great video.

Superb video by a TOP Husqvarna Professional. Many thanks indeed.

Exceptional video. Thanks. I'm certainly not a chainsaw expert but one thing I have been taught to do is to also lay the bar on a flat surface to check for bends or twists.

Great Video, well explained and professionally delivered... Cuddos!! Keep them coming. Thanks

I just bought a Husqvarna 450 Rancher. This video is very helpful..... Thank you.

Nice video, however you missed lubrication of the drive sprocket bearing and, if fitted, the bar sprocket grease hole.

Well somebody knows his stuff. Learned a lot. Thanks for a great video

what a thorough video! Thank you

Outstanding. What an instructor!

Cheers man!! Best video I’ve seen regarding maintenance 🔥

This man is effective!

Thank you for the incredible detail and theory. Very helpful.

Thank you for the extremely good explanation.

Awesome video! Well done Sir! This should help a lot of users out there, and should be ‘required’ viewing! 👍👍👍✌🏻😃

In my 50+ yrs experience of running & maintaining chainsaws, learning by doing, a file guide like Granberg's gets me the best results, by setting file ht and angle precisely. (To KISS I just file flat across.) No way otherwise, IME, can I do that. Without that guide, I need a stump vise to hold the bar so I can use two hands on the file. Granberg guide can be controlled with one hand. It can also be used to precisely set "joint"- depth gauge setting. Then you round leading edge of depth gauge with flat file. Generally, couple strokes per tooth every other fillup keeps chain sharp and consistent. Some have difficulty mastering that guide- the instructions suck- a friend to answer questions is a good idea a/r for comprehension probs. No way can I get such results with a grinder- they're for rocked chains. Also, chains and files seem to last a long time with Granberg guide. Rule 1: relax & engage brain. Good luck & fat chips.

This guy knows his stuff 👍🏻

I like cleaning the kerf w/ a Bobby Pin. Just the right size. Yes, I have 3 daughters and used to braid hair! lol

I use my saw often to do many different jobs, its a old husqvarna, Sometimes I use it a lot, sometimes it sits in the shed for a long time, I think I know it all, I enjoyed your video and l did learn a few things, like which nut to tighten up on the bar first etc, so from an , "old know it all" thanks.

Thanks for this excellent video. Great presentation.

Excellent video.

Great video! Thank you for sharing!

Jestas! Uusia Huskuja. Kyllähän se pitäisi joka miehellä olla muutama Husku ainakin.

Very informative.

That was a very good maintenance rundown. To sharpen the chain I use a 13/64 or 5.2mm file. Not the 13/64 or 5.5mm you recommend.

This is the best video on saw, chain, bar information and maintenance. I use a very old McCulloch joint-n-file for sharpening, it takes more time to set up, but save a lot of time in the field.

Wow... really helpful... thanks

Eric, thanks, bro. 37 ASEs, don't know f-all about small engines. Quick, simple, big help.

Great video, very informative. I couldn't help but notice that, when looking at the gullet and stating what to look for (to see if it's 90 degrees from the rise of the gullet to the tip of the tooth), the angle on the chain wasn't 90 deg. Just wondering how important that is. (I'm guessing it's just a rough guide (maybe?) since you didn't mention that the angle wasn't 90 deg). Thank you again for a very informative video! Stan in N AL

Brilliant video very comprehensive..

Great show I like it !!!

Excellent. Thanks

I think I could be an authorized dealer now . Great information

Hi can you show the correct position of the cooling plate behind the muffler on a Husqvarna 365 Special when I took the muffler off the tab on the cooling plate was facing out but in the workshop manual it shows the tab facing inward, will this make any difference the way the tab faces.

Thank you very mutch!

Thank you

Thank you. More info videos...

Chain sharpening. Mi look at the same things you do but I also look at the gullet. I feel the top edge, look at the gullett and scan the rakers to make sure they are below the top plate by about the gap on the spark plug. I usually put three strokes on the gullett and three strokes on the top plate. I have file guide sure but I usually file free hand with just a file unless the cutters have been really dulled off and I need to reset the angle of the cutters.

Looking at an old video , with the husky logo , the look of the bar is nicer than the ones today

Cheers Mate!

Thank you. You are Kevin Costner brother right. All I have to do is hear your voice. I do not know this from anywhere, but you sound identical and you look very similar. I could not see your name anywhere. Thanks for the instructions. I intend to look at hundreds of videos before I even touch my new chainsaw

I love husky chainsaws the best of the best that money can buy in my mind

Great information (thank you). Slow down a bit (breath and let the viewer fully understand/take notes/makes adjustments).

Question: Can I use a regular/standard 3/8 kerf on a narrow kerf chainsaw if I change the bar and chain to a 3/8 instead of a .325 ?

Hello, Mr. If you will! 😂

Good and informative video. You definitely know what you're talking about. You could slow it down in parts to make things more clear. Bring the video out to 45 minutes to really demonstrate what you're trying to explain. Other than that, A OK!

Where are you guys located? Good vid.. very helpful Tks 👌🏻
