No, most people do not wear pants under their chainsaw pants. Chainsaw pants are designed to be worn over top of regular pants to protect them from the chain and other elements.
If you regularly cut ice with your chainsaw, it will eventually dull the blade. This is because the ice is very hard and abrasive, and over time it will wear down the metal. It's important to keep the blade sharp so that it can cut through the ice easily, and you'll also want to protect the chain from rust.
While it is true that cutting wet wood can dull a chainsaw, it is not the only factor. Other things that can contribute to a dull chainsaw include not having a sharpener on hand, not using the proper technique, and not regularly maintaining the chainsaw.
A chainsaw chain will eventually need to be sharpened no matter how often you use it. The amount of time you can use a chainsaw chain before sharpening will depend on the type of wood you're cutting, as well as how often you're using the chainsaw. If you're cutting softwood, you may be able to get away with using the chainsaw for up to an hour before needing to sharpen the chain. If you're cutting hardwood, you may only be able to use the chainsaw for a few minutes before needing to sharpen the chain.

I had just one issue: the packing. Pictured in a Tupperware jar is the chain. The chains I purchased were the right kind, but they were packaged in card stock. Card stock boxes are readily crushed and damaged. That might not be an issue if the bought chain is used immediately away by mounting it to a saw. It does become an issue if the chain is kept around as a backup. For storage, the plastic container is far superior. The plastic container is challenging to open, according to others. That is accurate; a knife is required to open the packaging. However, I would much rather have to deal with cardboard that is easily crushed and ripped than have to carefully cut the package apart once. That is the only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars. It's a reliable chain. I would have given the image five stars if a cardboard box had been included.Regarding the remarks that the chain did not fit the 445, I own both a 440e and one of them. Both of mine fit on this chain. Not just the length, but also the number of drive links, the width of the slot the chain runs in, and the pitch must all be accurate for the chain to function effectively. I start with the catalog listing when I purchase chains, but I also double-check that the new chain's specifications match those on the specifications sheet that came with my saw.

I'm new to chainsaws. Thanks to the emerald ash bore beetle, I have a lot of dead ash trees. I reasoned that by purchasing a decent chainsaw and doing the actual cutting myself, I could save some money. As the trees became more difficult to cut, I saw that the chain eventually became stuck and some of the drive links began to bend. I forced myself to read the handbook. I didn't understand that the chain needs to be sharpened or replaced because it becomes dull quite soon. Until tragedy strikes, I'm too proud to read the handbook since, as I said, I'm a rookie.When I visited the dealer, I learned that a new chain cost roughly $28. That would quickly add up. I inquired about the cost of having it sharpened. That only cost $10. I viewed various videos while online. Although there are some nice equipment that can make sharpening simpler, they can be very pricey, and since I'm a cheapskate, I was doing this myself in the first place.I purchased this file and a vice. The directions were vague and verbless, but I was able to piece them together using the information from the web movies. When you figure things out, the symbols on the file make plain what you are expected to accomplish. The first time I sharpened the chain, it took me 30 minutes, but with each sharpening after that, I got faster until I was down to around 5 minutes. The fact that one of the chain's links is green serves as a helpful cue; thus, you should begin sharpening there so you can quickly determine when you have completed the full circuit. I'm not sure when I need to change the files themselves, but I suppose I can continue using the original files as long as my chain keeps getting sharper. Today, I just finished cutting down my fourth tree, and I'm still on chain two (that first one still has bent links).

I eventually bit the bullet and purchased an HT-KM pole pruner attachment with a 12" bar and chain for my STIHL Kombi machine. The chain appeared to be dulling after chopping and trimming a sizable Carrotwood tree. I spotted this small treasure after visiting Stihl online. [...]. When I called my neighborhood Stihl dealer, he claimed to have never heard of it. They had electric ones, but I had seen this one online and thought I just needed something basic—I didn't want to have to sharpen a chain while connected to a 12 volt battery. Additionally, regular sharpening necessitates sharpening two components. I thought that seemed like a lot of difficulty. Which one do I need for my chain after finding it online? Although they are unique to the chain, Stihl is simple to work with. The pole pruner and the Stihl 3/8 Low profile Picco chain are connected via the component number 56057504303, which was obtained by calling Stihl customer care.When the product arrived, I watched this Stihl instructional video, and within ten minutes, my saw blades were sharpened were once more slicing effortlessly through carrotwood tree limbs.It is simple to use and easy to get the hang of. neither difficult nor laborious. A perfect little gadget that gets you going. No need to have a sharp chainsaw. Simply fantastic and simple, plus since it isn't electric, I don't believe it is as simple to break your chain.The only drawback might be the price, but it works and ought to last a lifetime.

It was a great fit for my Ryobi 14" gas chainsaw. When it is brand-new and fresh, it cuts like butter and noticeably better than the OEM blade. It rapidly becomes boring, and I understand that this is probably a complaint about all brands. The blade became dull after just two very small jobs, where I was cautious not to hit any rocks or stones, and I had to get a new one. After operating the chainsaw for less than an hour total, this was blade #2, so either I need to learn how to sharpen my own blades or I'll run out of money buying blades.

I regret not purchasing this sooner because I didn't understand how boring the current chain was. My ancient Remington pole saw now operates as well as, if not better, than new thanks to the new chain. The chain might not stay this sharp for very long, but for this price, I can change it at least once a season. Additionally, I'm confident that the sharper blades will reduce motor wear and tear, extending the lifespan of the entire device. Once this chain becomes duller and I need to attach a second chain, I will most definitely purchase more. Additionally, the Oregon website has a saw chain "finder" if you want to know if it will suit your saw but can't find it in Q

With them on, I have now felled five trees that were 75 feet or taller. They still have a nearly fresh appearance. Two members of my family who were injured while cutting wood ended up in the hospital. The $300 co-pay for the ER is far more expensive than this. Spend the extra money, in my opinion, and purchase a pair like this one that will protect all of your lower legs.The rear of your calf was previously chainsaw-cut by my grandfather; they will shield you from that. In contrast to most of the others I have seen, this one provides you with excellent protection.There are four straps each leg, three on the lower leg and one higher up, for comfort. You forget you have them on after approximately two to three minutes. There is a sense of absence when you remove them. I could move in all directions while I was wearing them. Whatever it required, I could climb up hills, over logs, and over rock. The safest pair of chaps I could locate are these. I won't be the third member of the family to go to the ER after falling while cutting wood.

Therefore, as you can see in the picture, I am using the Oregon S62 AdvanceCut chain to complete a lot of work. Since others have mentioned that it would not retain a nice edge after first usage, I may edit the review after sharpening it (which it definitely needs right now!). Overall, you truly have nothing to complain about when a brand-new 18" saw chain is delivered to your door within two days at this VERY CHEAP price!Some of you might have noticed that I'm utilizing this chain with an electric 18" Worx 304.1 saw. This chain is not the best option for the aforementioned saw since, despite having the suitable gauge and pitch, it only has 62 drive links, rather than the required 63. This results in the chain being 3/8" shorter than it should be, which makes installation a little challenging due to tightness. However, it CAN be accomplished without too much effort, and I'm simply emphasizing this point in case someone has trouble locating a 63-link chain for their Worx saw.

These chainsaw chaps have been excellent for the three times I've used them. The 37" length of my pants overlaps my boots by a few inches as it should because I typically wear 34" long jeans. These comply with the new ASTM F1897-2014 39JY specification as well as the Canadian CAN/BNQ 1923-450-M91 39JY class B, according to the tags and paperwork.There are numerous specifications for various chainsaw chaps, but the ASTM is the primary US specification and the industry benchmark for chainsaw chap performance. Wear safety leg protection made of ballistic nylon or something similar, according to OSHA 1910.266. And UL utilizes ASTM F1414-13 as their benchmark for determining whether anything complies with ASTM F1897. The USFS 11BF or FS6170-4 is the only one that truly differs. Along with fire safety-related specifications, the majority of those specifications are non-safety-related details (stitching, color, snaps, etc.). While the FS spec (year 2000 version) is tested at 3200 ft/sec rather than 2750 ft/sec (2008 edition of ASTM F1897), some documentation from Elvex notes that the testing technique is a little different so they aren't truly comparable.Why does any of this matter? I want my chainsaw chaps to protect me if I'm wearing them. I was prepared to pay more for those that would better safeguard me. Since ASTM F1897 is a pass/fail test, it cannot tell you whether one pair is superior to another but it can serve as a benchmark. I was attempting to determine the differences since in our chainsaw lesson for cleaning forest service trails, it was stated that the saw chaps needed to fit the FS 6170-4 spec. But in the end, it turns out that they now permit your chainsaw chap PPE to satisfy either the FS 6170-4 spec or the ASTM F1897 spec for non-fire related chainsaw use on forest service land. See page 15 of the electronic edition of the 2016 USDA FOREST SERVICE SAW OPERATIONS GUIDE. [...]In conclusion, these chainsaw pants seem good. This is inexpensive insurance to ensure that if something bad happens, you'll be better off than you would have been without the personal protective equipment. It works similarly to using a seatbelt even if you've never been in an accident or wearing a bike or ski helmet even if you've never had a crash that resulted in a head injury. They are excellent for the price. The full ankle wrap models from Forester (Chap737-O), Woodland Pro, Labonville, or Husqvarna look like good choices if you want to spend a little more money and receive a little more protection.Since they provide all these specifications and information on meeting ASTM F1897-2014 39JY for gas chainsaws but not electric ones, I'm sending a ton of images of the product and documentation (as others have stated, this is due to the continuous high torque from an electric chainsaw). As I am sure it would have helped me if I had this information, I sincerely hope that it will all be helpful to you in making your decision. Purchase some and use them each time you start up your saw. These can help safeguard you in case something goes wrong in addition to helping you remember to cut safely.UPDATE: I've periodically used these for the past three years. I've probably cut down ten larger trees, performed a lot of limbing, burned 24 cords of wood, and spent 20 hours using an alaskan chainsaw mill. No issues, though I've liked wearing my Husqvarna full wrap chaps for the past few months since I received them for trail work. They include a few additional straps and completely encircle the ankle, which ought to better avoid or lessen harm in some circumstances. I will let my neighbor have these while I use the more expensive pair because I still think these are a terrific value and product.

Do not presume that your 16-inch saw will fit the S56 16-inch saw chain based on this item! You could zoom in and check which models of the brands listed on the front view it truly fits if a picture of the back of the packaging was also supplied in this description (Well Duh!!). The selector guide can be found at Oregonchain.com, however most listings for other Oregon chains do not recommend using it. Great saw chains are produced in Oregon. Every listing should make it clear that prospective purchasers must confirm the choice is the right one for their specific make and model before placing an order. Do they take into account all of the consumer inquiries like, "Will this fit my xxx model of my xxx brand"?Even though typing that brand and model into Amazon's search bar led us right to this offering, my father's Remington 16-inch electric, Model 1630A, actually needs the S58. Unfortunately, we didn't notice the inconsistency until our cargo arrived and we realized that the chain's carton's back didn't include it. Even though the description and image of the S58 at Amazon state "Fits Echo, John Deere and Sears Chain Saws" without mentioning Remington, a visit to the Oregon website, which is also recommended on the carton but nowhere in this listing, proved that the S58 is the right choice. To start, examine the selector guide at Oregon, according to the Amazon page for S58. This listing does not contain that warning! So, when their listing led to the shipment of the incorrect item and my return of it, shopping on Amazon did not really benefit me any more than going to the neighborhood "big box store"! Will you pay for my time and expenses to return three chains? Let's go, guys! Do you actually keep an eye on the feedback on your "Did we miss anything?" links?ARRANGEMENT (12.7.2013): Well! It certainly pays to use the "return function" that is located under your "orders history," as I have already heard back on my return and have been given a full refund! A commitment was made in the email response that this matter will be sent through channels. Hopefully, a hyperlink with a warning to first make sure which chain exactly fits your saw make and model will be included below as a result of this. BIG TIP: "Count the number of drive links in the chain you now have and write that number down someplace where you can find it" IS NOT STRESSED ENOUGH, EVEN AT THE SELECTOR SITE. S56 chain contains 56 drive links, while S58 (and the last chain we used on our Remington) had 58.For the electric saw I use behind the garage to cut up wood for splitting, the selector guide provided 4 different options out of 58 drive link chains. We selected the aggressive style chain, which was also available at Amazon.com, because I have years of seasonal experience and use a large, gas-powered chain saw with an aggressive style of Oregon chain to fell and section trees in the woods. WARNING: this equals "far greater chance for kick-back and IS NOT for the unwary user" (not the S58 but the 91VXL058G).Last but not least, this disappointment is one of the very few I have had in my many years and many dollars as an Amazon client. On my large Stihl saw, I use Oregon chains, and I've discovered that they cut for a very long time before becoming dull and can be filed or re-sharpened numerous times. Give them tremendous praise.PS: OMG to the person using the Poulan Pro! I looked up your saw in the selecting guide just for laughs. There were several options with 15 or more, some with 56 links and others with 58 links. Your situation is the best illustration of how crucial it is to know how many drive links are currently in the chain.

The OEM narrow kerf pixel chain loop seen here is what Husky dealers generally provide customers who buy new saws. It would be difficult to find a better anti-kickback chain for less money. It cuts through wood like butter with a 50cc saw.With very little stretching, this chain does keep an edge fairly well. The guide bar will continue to cut all day long if you keep it off the ground and away from rocks, ice, and snow. When bucking hardwoods like hickory and oak, it moves a little bit more slowly, but that is how it was intended to.Before installing, soak the chain in 90-weight (gear oil) for at least one night to prevent early wear and stretching. It will also be appreciated by your guide bar. Take the carton paper out of the package, flip it over, and pour oil on top until the chain is covered. I can do it because it is so simple.For weekend firewood chopping, a Husky 353 non-cat is in use. With this chain, we felled, limbed, and bucked three cords of oak, maple, and sweetgum before the chunks got smaller.The amount of work this chain will complete before requiring an appointment with a file shocked me. Even then, a little touchup takes care of the issue. It only takes a few strokes per tooth with the file to make it razor-sharp and prepared for another day's labor.
You can sharpen a chainsaw as many times as you need to, as long as you keep the chain sharp. Over time, the chain will become less effective and will need to be replaced.
The chainsaw blade should be tight enough so that it does not come off while in use, but not so tight that it is difficult to remove.
It is not recommended to store a chainsaw vertically, as this can put undue stress on the bar and chain. It is best to store the chainsaw on its side, with the bar and chain facing up, in a dry and protected area.
Chainsaws are powerful tools that can make quick work of many tasks. But is it always best to run a chainsaw at full throttle? There are a few things to consider when deciding how much throttle to give your chainsaw. If you're just making light cuts, you probably don't need to go full throttle. But for tougher jobs, you'll want to open it up to get the most power. Another thing to keep in mind is that a chainsaw can kick back if the blade gets pinched or bound up. This can be dangerous, so it
Most people believe that it is safer to start a chainsaw with the chain brake on, but this is not the case. The chain brake is designed to stop the chain from moving if it comes into contact with your body. However, if the chain brake is on when you start the chainsaw, it can cause the chain to bind and the saw to kick back.
