Really stfu. Thank You
No, I recommend ALL these saws be checked by the owners or their favorite wrench. When *s-word like rusty cranks are used it just got "real" dicey at best. Have you ever had a saw go boom like the one that grenaded in Brad Snellings hands? I have and he will tell you it is a sinking feeling knowing that bigger *s-word could have come out. Until you have picked metal from your body you will never understand. I have. Do you want to?
Just my 2cts
Also, had a 044 clutch explosion on a piss revved chainsaw in the old basement shop. Clutch shoes stuck in the hard wood floor above. The first good boom I was involved in at 19 in my 4x4 truck @7.5K 3rd gear flat shift, sectioned the main shaft in the starter. Almost section myself that day. Bye Bye bell housing. Stupid dummy me had the Lakewood blast shield and plate hanging on the wall in the shop, not good.
My point, if someone builds inferior dangerous *s-word how many times has he done it?
I have learned muh lessons and I'm lucky to have afforded them! I'm done here. No need to quote me or like this poast! Draw your own conclusions and be safe out there
