Watch the oil level.
I put chainsaw oil on the chain itself, every 10 minutes of sawing or so.
I must admit the automatic oiling system is poor.
I thought it may be underpowered, but it works just as it does in the video, and on greenwood.
The thing I really like, it's so safe, compared to an open chainsaw.

One of the few tools I've never used, they literally fill me with dread, I know a tree surgeon and some of his stories haven't helped. As you say, that really has to be a lot safer than an open chain.

Agree, I have one myself.
Looks good.

Perhaps the only tool where the PPE costs (or probably should cost) more than the tool itself.
After using a 9" angle grinder a chainsaw becomes more docile, especially if you have one with an instantaneous brake!

I saw something on TV recently, might have been Countryfile where a guy was using a chainsaw , had helmet & visor on but wearing a t shirt and either shorts or jeans
I've used a 9" grinder plenty of times, I'm quite relaxed with that, it's the thought of that chain snapping. *shudders*
After the Christmas extended household announcement, just rapidly booked 2 rooms in nearby hotel from Christmas Eve until Boxing Day for some of Mrs Dangees immediate family! Done, something else to tick off the list.
Watch this guy cutting logs, best bit starts at 2mins 30 secs in, my jaw just dropped.
Look at his feet........
F that!
