[QUOTE="teacherman, post: 8233499, member: 21724"] I set the chain brake, grab the cord handle with my left, and with my right I push the saw down hard and simultaneously pull up hard with my left. It even worked on the 880 I used to have. I've never had much strength, but I have no problem starting my 044 and 064, (no comp release) when I do it that way. Timing, and using the weight of the saw to help start it. I struggle to see the danger in this if I set the chain brake first. [/QUOTE]
