3m product does well. Available at most auto part stores.

I decided to try the butter method today on a pine covered saw.
I had mixed results.
I put the butter in the pan.
Then I added bacon.
I ate the bacon and it was delicious.
I forgot to do anything with the saw.
As I say, mixed results.
I dare say the bacon was tastier than the 3M products.

I spray with WD40 and let it soak for a few. Wipe and re-apply if necessary.

clean up is easier if you avoid pine altogether.

Have them take a look at your head while they have you under for the shoulder and what not.[emoji4]

Ayuh,.... A well known secret up in Maine, is pine pitch cleans up with plain ole Butter,.....

Rub in the Butter, 'n wash it off with Dawn dish soap,....

Don't matter whether it's yer hands, or yer saw,...

Plain ole creamery Butter,.....

I have heard that too.
Hardly ever cut pine so have not tried it.
Salted or un salted?

GooGone and a shop towel works for me.

We used Crisco to remove the spruce sap from saws,wedges,axes and ropes. Works well on hands and clothes too. Plus side is nothing rusts.

Pam in the spray can is a good one

purple power cut 3:1 or 2:1 and a toothbrush. don't let is set on there it will take the shine off also blow dry and wipe immediately. The toothbrush makes a huge difference!

WD40 is the best i've used

 

[sgrizz]

WD 40 works for me and have even wiped WD on the saw to keep it from sticking. I didn't do the top handle or the rear handle (of course)

 

[Al Smith]

I think I've only cut three or 4 green felled pines in my life time .Seems to me I used D and L hand cleaner . What a freakin mess that stuff is .

 

[Poleman]

I'm in with WD-40 like, Elim and KenJax..... cut mostly Pines here and it is a BIG issue

 

[PA Dan]

I spray the front of the saw and clutch area with silicone spray before I cut. That helps it not to stick very well.

Lighter fluid/naptha also works well, fairly finish friendly. I think that's what Goo Gone mostly consists of.
Liberal quantities with a well soaked rag or toothbrush help a lot...
