New saw problems? Help!

[GordonRochdale]

Cool yeah it's got a witness mark, but just looking, the saw uses .325" pitch, however the chain sent with the saw is a .025".

 

Is this a drama? Would have thought the supplier would have sent the correct pitch?

And looking at the husky bar, it's a .325

Hold that thought, the sticker on the box says its a .325 pitch, but the back of the box says its a .025 pitch, confused.

Don't put it in that gritty ol' stump again !

The blueing is nothing to do with your usage, it was on the bar when it arrived, its part of the heat treatment to make the bar durable, what you have done is taken a bit of paint off to expose the colour.

 

Its probably not possible to create that kind of heat by friction with a chain and if you could the chain would get just as hot and you would have noticed the chain oil burning off the bar and plastic bits melting and dripping off your saw just before it caught fire.

[GordonRochdale]

Good to know I didn't do the bluing, yeah I'd be worrying if the saw started

To melt, lesson learned, it's a big learning curve and no doubt not the last mistake I make! Thanks for all your views and insights gents, have a good bank holiday hope the weather is as nice as it is here in Rochdale
