I've used saws before but this one is MINE!!
I figured it was a sign that I happened, unplanned work trip, to pass through a town that had a captive 346xp ( 20" bar ) and that I actually had the time to go look at it before they closed with only 10 minutes to spare was a stroke of luck. It felt good in my hands not to mention that it's a nonemission model - bonus! The price was right and of all the Husky dealers I have called in Montana it was the only one around and they had just gotten 2 in and one had sold earlier that day! I probably would have ordered from another closer distributor but I really need to get after my beetle kill and quit debateing. Needless to say it came home with me!
Now I have to break it in. Any recomendations? For my motorbikes, watercraft and cars I would warm it up at part throttle let it run for 15 minutes and then shut down and let it cool all the way down a couple times then do about 500 miles of slow roll ons ( slowly accelerate and then decelerate ) and varied speeds for short disatances. Change the oil and promptly drive it like you stole it! But with a saw???
I also bought my safety equipment( wow I've become a sissy but it takes soooo much longer to heal and I'm not as agile as I once was ), oil, and files from my hometown guy. Hard hat with ear and face protection and chaps ( 600 denier full front - covers my junk!) had gloves etc. The hard hat is way more comfy than I thought and the ear muffs hold everything in place it is way nicer and more comfy than I expected!! I feel like a gladiator!
Any other suggestions?
Woooo Hoooo,
Geno
