It seems like forever that when I start my chainsaw, especially the larger ones when they are cold, I set the thing on the ground, put my right boot through the rear handle to hold the saw down on one end and my left hand holding the handle on the forward end - grab the rope and pull like crazy!
I ask because I have seen people grab the rear handle in one hand, the rope in the other and pull to start. This way looks like a great way to saw your leg off!
Once the saw is warm, I will hold it by the forward handle with the left hand and pull the rope with the right hand without the trigger locked - starting at idle.
What's your trick to starting chainsaw?
