Hey guys,
I've been around here reading some, and this site has tons of information about chainsaws and heating with wood, I love it! Now I have my own question, so I finally made an account.
I'm new here, my name is Vince, and I live in north MS. Last year I finally bought my own saw after always using my dads saw. I ended up getting a stihl MS261, and I love it.
Anyway, since I've had the saw, I've noticed the paint is wearing off on the bar, and it seems like it got really hot. It's currently in two spots, on the bottom right (when looking from the saw), and on the top left, at the same area of the bar (see pictures).
I've never had this with any chainsaw I've used before. I kinda hate to have it look like this, and I'm worried it'll tear up my bar.
I've only ran the bar in the 'normal' position, never upside down. Yet there is also damage on the left top, what's causing this?
Now my question is, is this normal wear and tear or am I doing something wrong? I've only cut a couple of cords with the saw.
Thanks!
