I just bought a new 460 (yes, life is good). Any suggestions or any special care instructions while it is being broken in?
Run it like you stole it...
Send it to mastermind for a tune up.
That would be good to!
Or send it to get stumpbroke.:msp_wink:

Stumpy does a good job:msp_biggrin:

Top buy,
after the first 10 to 12 cuts you do with it turn it off and let it cool right down before running it for extended time.
What does this do?
What does this do?
At my local chainsaw shop which my mate owns, i have seen a few saws that have come back after someone has just got them and flogged them stright away, seals have let go, crank gets too hot to quick, by letting it cool down after the first 10-12 cuts it let
saw settle in better and not get to hot on the first run, also on the first 10 - 12 cuts the chain will strech the most, if you let it cool down it will harden and last longer without streching, if you just tighten it up and keep going it can stuff a chain and wreck a bar,
I had a look at one saw sometime ago the owner had just kept tightening a new chain on first use and at the end of the day he just put saw away and overnight the chain cooled and contracted and busted the crank.
