Interesting. My first 4 saws had no chain brakes. Now that I have saws with chain brakes I use them when I start the saw.
I just put the chain brake on and pull the cord while I am holding the saw. When it starts, blip the throttle and its good to go.
I have still a scar on my knee from using a chainsaw when I was 15 years old (Standing on a fallen tree limbing it when the bottom branches broke
DUH, hey I was young! )
Better safe than sorry and I could care less if I am considered a wussy
Now I must be an ignorant wussy cause I don't know exactly what is meant by "Drop Starting" a saw?
Anyone care to enlighten me?
