Xp550 play on handle

[Greny]

how to start explaining this....
Ok , when you clamp the chain bar.
There's a lot of play on the rear handle.
There are 3 springs for damping on this saw , could it be there worn out ?
I think my saw has cut around 1200 stères now.
Al help welcome

It's normal and perfectly fine. Called anti vibe.

I had to google what a stere is, appears to be a cubic meter of wood. So in American terms your saw has cut about 250 cords of firewood.

It is possible that the antivibe components are starting to wear out if you think it has a noticeable difference from a less used saw.
