From a ms211 to a 070, what now?

[Danielfc]

Hello, long time reader, first time posting.
Today i finally got a stihl 070, I payed 300€ and I think it is in good condition, at least I hope so.

Till this day I was using a ms211 to cut firewood, but I really want to get into milling so there's the reason for the purchase.

I noticed one thing, the guy that sold me the saw sayed that you need to press the oil button 2/3 times at the start and then it will be automatically while you run it, is this true? I noticed some drops running down from the oil side after I tested it at home, I will try to attach a photo. Is this normal? Did I press the button to many times or should I worry?

I hope that I find some way to reduce the vibration, because my arms were tingling after 2 minutes... what a beast.

Thank you for the help!

I have heard of people using those for milling but I was wondering how you put gas and bar oil in it when it's mounted in a mill on its side.

I wonder if it is possible to get a piece of angled pipe that would thread into the oil and petrol tanks to make filling them in the horizontal position possible?
If it sealed with a cap then it would also act as additional tank volume.

Where some decent gloves. This will reduce alot of the fatigue.
