I disagree... it's a feature of my saw and I'd like to know how it works. There has to be something I have to do to make sure it's is being used correctly. For example, do I really need to rev the saw prior to cutting to enable RevBoost?
They're using it as a selling point so they should really describe/explain it in the manual IMHO.
Mark, there's nothing you need to do. Like ST says, it's "just there". But I agree that you should be able to understand what the heck is going on there, and some one should be able to explain it to you. Didn't the guy who sold it to you tell you anything about it?
All revboost does is allow a 2 second burst of an extra 2000rpm while limbing. Doesn't really have anything to do with the acceleration. And obviously, any cut that is more than 2 seconds in duration will be beyond what revboost provides and you really won't notice it very much if at all. But if you're doing a lot of small limbs, you should notice that you are blowing through them pretty quick.
Trigger timing is also key here due to the 2 second deal. Some guys delay/hesitate from the time they hit the trigger to the time they hit the wood. (The sound of which bugs me to no end) Doing so obviously wastes what revboost is supposed to be doing. So, hitting the trigger and then quickly hitting the limb maximizes the revboost feature.
Personal opinion: I do notice it, and I think it is a cool feature. But it's not an OMG, can't live without it Holy Grail. The 346 never had it, and it did just fine. :msp_smile:
