On the show "How it's Made" last night (Science Channel) they spent 15 min on "modern lightweight chainsaws" at the factory outside Stuttgart (Esslingen maybe?)
It was pretty brief, but showed some alloy casting, annealing, chain-making & cutter sharpening (Boron-Nitride tooling) and assembly-line work. I will say that they could have spent the whole 15 minutes on two fine frauleins busy at their work stations The kickback testing station was neat.
They also showed a German ranger guy doing some saw work... couldn't swear to it, but it looked like he was using a 361.
Edit -> It was also the show that had the Airbus factories if that helps find it.
