Is it possible the trigger mechanism is a little bit sticky? So trigger not quite returning all the way?

 

Doesn't feel like it and the saw generally doesn't do much work so is in good nick. Will check though.

I would think the tendons in your forearms will soon be a much more important issue.

 

Yeah, I'm not going to do that every day. It's fine on vibes etc though. Impressive machine really. Apart from this monstrously bad running on. And I mean bad. Like quarter throttle easily. Wasted loads of effort dragging the chain to a stop on wood and using the chain brake unnecessarily. Not to mention it's horrendously dangerous if you don't have your wits about you. Where you'd normally gribble through the last inch of cut so the chain has already stopped when it drops into space, you now have to worry about it picking back up to quarter or third throttle. You're effectively stood there with a machine gun that's stuck firing unless you want to abuse the chain brake.
