Newby Question

[Fish]

I have read all of the old threads, and have found this site to be the
most ki ck-a ss chainsaw site.

I have inherited a large tree company, and I have 1 question....

How can I tell of the chain is on the right direction?

I know this is a stupid question, but you guys are great!!!!!

I love you guys...................

 

[Rotax Robert]

It all depends on which side of the log your on or if your making an upcut or not. Hope this clears things up a bit.

Now,as to elaboratge on Larry's comment, to be truely left handed, the bar must be mounted upside down AND backwards to function properly!!! Kinda like a womans brain upsidedown and backwards!!!

Yeah, real brave saying that from the anonymity of the Internet! Let's see you say that in front of a Nordstrom's!


Why, right after the sale was over, they'd tear you apart!

These guys make a big deal out of getting the chain on right but I find that after 40-50 hours of sawing that they cut the same either direction so no big deal just put-er-on.

Fish, good to see you again!

Now as for the chain, it all depends on your oil ratio, and which homeowner saw you should have it on.

 

[Lakeside53]

For smoooooooooth cut mount the chain inside out - you'll need three bars - one for each side and a smaller in the middle for the groove. Then sharpen the tangs for best performance.

 

[Canyon Angler]

Before I tell you which way the chain should go, I need to know what hemisphere you live in -- Eastern or Western.

Well if if my bar is mounted upside down and backwards and my brain works that way as well so in reality I think that a rightside up frontwards mount is correct but the bar supposed to be upside down and backwards... then HA HA HA... I will be the one cutting right!!
He he

Ummm... I forgot, I'm right handed
