Saw cleaning

[Hipastore]

Hey Guys! Happy new year from Hipa!

What does everyone use to clean their saw after use? A lot of the wood is quite stringy and mixes with the bar oil caking up the saw super quickly? Any chemicals or pressure packs that are safe for the paint?

If I end the day with access to air...I just blow it out.

If no air, stiff cleaning brush and old toothbrush, then rag wipe-down.

If I am dealing with a gunked-up saw which is new to me...I soak in Diesel, blow it, and then brake cleaner.

Blow the heavy crud off with air. I use this from the dollar store. Takes sap off of bars nicely. Water based and pretty safe.

Just don't use any of the "purple" cleaners, like Purple Power... it'll take off all the dirt and oil and grime and sap, but your paint will go with it...
