I was watching some YouTube videos by a guy with a British accent, and he used a few terms that were new to me:
'tick over' - what we call engine 'idle' in the US, and
'barrel' - referring to the chainsaw 'cylinder'.
Since a lot of Europeans and former crown colonies may have learned 'British English' versus 'American English', I was wondering if there are other UK chainsaw terms (aside from using metric equivalents for imperial or SAE units).
The STIHL UK website lists 'petrol chainsaws' (versus 'gas' in US).
One of my electric chainsaws discussed 'connecting to the mains', which I realized meant 'plug it in'!
