Mmmhmm. And what's odd is as we were cutting (ringing), he needed to mix more fuel, as we'd burned ready mixed stuff through. An exact science it was not! Whatever  he put in, my Husky was deeply unimpressed and needed a part capful of oil to get it to go. It sounds like manual safe is the better option.

Doesn't sound too clever having to add oil to get it to go! If you were aware that he was a bit haphazard with his mixing, why use it through your saw? Not a cheap piece of kit to replace for a can of your own fuel.

Read the f**king manual.

 

😂

Sounds harsh, but it's exasperating when people reach out to social media for kit advice, whether it's fuel mix, or "running in a new saw".

 

Lots of people following stupid advice like "let it idle for a tank" or "only use half revs for x amount of time" etc. 

 

Why on earth would you buy a pro saw and then take unverified advice from an unknown on social media about how to use it.

 

Just read the effing manual!
