Because I have a new saw, plus an old saw which has had problems that were mostly owner-related, I want to get off on the right foot and keep the new one going.
I don't know anything about saws, so I was happy to get either a Stihl or Husky pro model with whatever computerized stuff was available, and I chose a 562XP.
Since getting it, I've seen info on the web about these saws having problems with heat. For example, I heard that dull saws get hot, and this leads to all sorts of destruction. That was news. Never would have figured that out on my own. Also, I saw people complaining about over-restricted exhausts keeping heat in saws.
Should I be looking for some kind of exhaust mod to make sure heat finds its way out?
