The girls are at it...again. The sand is flying.:deadhorse:
Anyhow back to the post:
Brake on
Crotch start
Safe, reliable, controlled.....some like it that way.

Drop starting here

I drop start. Hold saw with left hand on top bar. Drop saw and pull up on rope. I switch hands on the rope with right hand on the trigger if it's starting hard. Still dropping. If it's being really stubborn, then it's on the ground, knee on top.

I did some cutting yesterday and noted how I started. I keep the bar away from me. I know which end bites!

I just put a new fanwheel on my 051. I also completely redid my recoil spring and new pull rope with elastostart. I got it all set and I figured Id be cool and dropstart that bad boy then and there. Well on the first pull she pulled back and ripped the elastostart right out of my hand. After I got over the shock, pain and numbness I'm looking at the saw (Big Pappi) like wtf I'm looking at the elastostart and it broke underneath and a big chunk of plastic had come out! Well no more of that nonsense, on the floor for Big Pappi with the whole respect, plan, prepare and start

I drop start any size saw I have-I pull it to TDC -making sure the pawls are engaged(this I find is a very important step) and let er rip.

they start in 3 pulls,every time,any weather
