Cleaning Saws With Compressed Air - Objections?

[MasterMech]

The usefulness of a tool is dependent on the operator.

I use air all the time. Agree with everything that had been stated.

I would like to know why " no part of the saw "?? I really doubt you could hurt a bar with air.

Plus it makes a zing, zinngg, zinngg ,. Up up up an away cartoon sound if you do the nose sprocket, really only reason I cut wood is to hear that noise!!

Agreed on the entertainment value! Just don't get carried away with the nose sprocket. You can accelerate it to speeds far beyond its normal operating range and it's not being actively lubricated.

My 660 amd a 440 have been sitting outside several weeks now on the mill ,i am starting to feel bad ,should at least blow them off i guess

blowing them off.. is that as bad and blowing on them.?

i pressure wash them and use compressed air.. they still work.
