My dad had a big tree fall across his driveway from the neighbours. Im planing to cut it up this weekend. The problem is I have a Dolmar 6400 with a 20" bar..... Im not 100% sure but the base is probably 50" plus dia hardwood (peppermint gum I think)
My question is more on saw preservation rather than cutting technique. I dont want to cook the motor. Any tips on how to go about this without burning a piston. Is it better to let it idle or turn it off between cuts?
I'll be using full chisel chain for this and will keep it sharp. Will use fresh 95 Ron with Stihl ultra at 40:1.
Looking forward to this job but wish I had a bigger saw.
Thanks in advance
