If you swap the standard chain for an Oregon, got mine of ebay, you will notice a big difference in how well it cuts especially if you need to bore into a cut.

 

The standard Chain likely is an Husky branded Oregon - but it is a kick-back reduced chain that isn't cutting too well, specially when bore cutting.

 

There are better Oregon 91 chains out there, like the VXL and VX.

 

There are rumors that Husky is setting up their own chain factory, but I don't know what the plans actually are......

Do you mean the extra loop on the back of the saw? Grey plastic one?

Do you mean the extra hand grip parts that come with the saw?

 

If so these are a different size to the ones fitted, you can change them for the ones fitted if they suit your hand better.

First day using one, love it so far. I agree with the chain though, it just feels like it's had the edge taken off it! Might be because I have the more aggressive full chisel in my 200t.

Well balanced, light, and it's defiantly got the power. I'll keep you posted when I use it again

Think its for short clipping to your harness . I use it for clipping the strop beener to to keep it out the way ( shhh when using it on the ground !!! )

That's illegal.

I believe it actually carries a prison sentence of 25 years, and a £5000000 fine.
