Possible dumb question on "Felling Marks"

[bogiemsn]

Nah not really that much. Its only been about fourty years or so Im sure Ive still got things to learn. I dont pay attention to the saw while Im felling. Im more concerned with what the tree is doing.

Huh... I must have learned it backwards. All this time I've been using the saw to make the tree fall where I want.

 

[edisto]

They're marks placed on the power head that are perpendicular to the blade that are used as a guide to indicate the direction the tree will fall, unless acted on by another force.

Showoff! Man that is a fine looking saw!!!

I learned about them by the ol' RTFM. Nobody gave me a medal for reading it, but a beer would have been nice for getting through the Spanish section.

Its kinda like getting five or six cupholders in a new car. You dont need them, they are just there.

ha ha...after a day of logging, using the gunning sights, i'm usually utilizing all the cupholders as well. :monkey:

I am not a every day logger, but I find the felling sights are good to use to keep from cutting through part of the hing.

So how exactly does that hangy down thingy in the back of your throat help with directions?

Ain't she just a dandy.

I actually got it from Husky to use for my article in the next issue of the magazine. The sad part is that I have to give it back in a few months. They were quite willing to let me beat the crap out of it for testing though. I'm not going to run straight gas in it or anything like that, but I'm gonna run it hard. This particular one has the regular carb on it but they are sending me one with the autotune carb on it so I can compare them side by side. Can't wait. I get to keep the autotune one since I actually purchased it. They just haven't made it yet.

Stay Tuned!!

well. now that i got some juice in me,


My ?? is


How the #### do you even run a saw and not realize that there are lines all over it?

& How the #### do you not put 2&2 for that matter 1&1 together and figure, Hay thoes lines look like they point to where the bar is...




I have been holding back as far as speaking my mind here ever since my forest service encounter, but i think thoes times are over...



Watch out dumbasses!!!
