Chain Break On Or Off?

[Trx250r180]

old racing saying ,"dont use the brakes ,they just slow ya down "

Depends on whether I can make it to the kegerator or not!
I'll probably just reach up and kick the chain brake on right before it gets to me!

But wait - what if you're on the way back from the kegerator with a beer in each hand - what are ya gonna do, drop a beer?:hmm3grin2orange:

Serious penalty for beer dropage,, the man will do a round-house chop kick to get the brake on, hands do NOT leave a coldie unless to pass to a thirsty dude!!!

Springs are cheap,

Yep, if it wears out, replace it

Same with pistolas, if your mag spring wears out, replace it. Plus, an empty magazine is useless when attacked by zombie saws. You might be able to shoot it without spilling any beer if you're cocked and locked.

brake off and chain slack for sorage more than a couple days:hmm3grin2orange:

Brake on of course

That way you can come to AS later in the day and ask "why won't my saw rev up" or "my saw bogs in the cut", or better yet, "am I using the right oil?".

Use the Chainsaw instead of wondering about the brake, the weight specs, the fading colors. Just put some gas and chain oil in it and go cut some trees or block some firewood or cut some cookies or chase your neighbors with it reving at full throttle but for God sakes just use the saws.

 

[Saw Dr.]

I have never had a chain break. Are they just snapping when you store the saw?

 

[zogger]

I store mine at 40:1, synthetic.

.

You store yours with the brake 40% on? And I guess you use a synthetic..brake degree wheel to measure this? Welll.why not 50%, it is what all the modern kids do....

...and I have never, ever loosened a chain when I am done cutting!

...and I have never, ever loosened a chain when I am done cutting!

Probably because of the kind of oil you use.:hmm3grin2orange:

Repped.......

 

[logbutcher]

I my crotch.
Ergo: when doing a crotch start = chain brake on.
The End.

Now the oil......................What is this AS coming to ?
