Chainsaw maintanance manuals

[Boggle4137]

Hi guys

 

I was looking at maintenance manuals on the web and have came across a few for chainsaws (unfortunatly haynes dont make any). I know bits and pieces about engines and maint but find manuals and other liteture the best training aid/referance, as opposed to the internet as you cant always find specific repair/maint procedures. 

 

Can anyone recommend any good books/manuals? That they have used in the past or know of that would suit a begginer like me. 

 

Im hopefully getting my hands on a knackered saw in a couple of weeks so i can take it to bits and put back together again just for hands on and learning all of the components etc, but it would be handy for a physical book to guide me.

 

Cheers

What saw is it ?

Not sure yet. One of my grandads friends is empting his shed in the week, whitch is full of shite (according to him) but he knows he has a saw in there somewhere. The guy used to do tree work till a few years ago so im hoping for a decent model, or it could just be an aldi special. We'll have to just wait and see. Excited either way.

check out this thread - the last post is a link to a workshop service manual for a Stihl saw - one of the reasons I like Stihl stuff is that they publish these detailed repair manuals

Ahh this is exactly the sort of thing im looking for. Thanks. It looks like there isnt many generic manuals ones online, whitch is fair enough as every saw has different components.

 

Good to see stihl have there heads screwed on.

Watch a few Youtube videos about what you want to find, they are good sources of instructions. I've mended my own saws for a while now and also done phones and tablets following videos, saved a lot on repair costs and got a few good toys along the way.
