"Against the law" doesn't mean "can't be done." It just means "you can sue them for doing so, if you want."
Stihl wouldn't be the first company to do illegal and shady things, and dare the consumer to sue them for it, knowing that basically no one will sue over $1600.

Dealer, entirely possible. Stihl, highly unlikely.
They are no more or less honest than most any other company.
And like most companies, they aren't stupid enough to risk their reputation over peanuts.
Unless there is a clear case of neglect it is highly unlikely (insert manufacturer here) would deny a warranty.

If they were capable of running a nice expensive saw properly they would own a nice expensive saw.
Even worse I lent a gun once that never came back.
Same as a gun, if you don't own a chainsaw, you probably can't be trusted to use one safely.

I loan my stuff out all the time, they're just tools, and they make new ones everyday.
Loaned my truck & trailer out to my friend last week it came back with a full tank and a 6 pack of beer.

That is just plain sick
Nope, just not stingy with my stuff.
I have a rule! let them suffer. Run a shovel and then get a back hoe. The cake walk in life never happens. Most try to escape the hard part.

I only have a few friends and my family is hard working farmers that are good with equipment, I would let them borrow any of my stuff, they would only ask because they were doing a job nearby and forgot theirs, I would almost appreciate one of them running my stuff as they might notice something I didnt.
