To the one handedsaw user. I suggest you drop the one handed saw or you get tendonitis and have to drop it later. Two handed sawing aloft requires more thought and better positioning, one handed sawing does free up the other hand but you dont position by holding on to the tree while you cut do you. If you are useing the other hand to position I'd rethink that. I know that 3-point contact with the tree is taught to powerline workers but our job aint powerlines.

Xtremely good weed you are smoking, being a C.A. ha ha ha ha, so freakin what? Why would you use your other hand to position yourself in a tree, the other hand is for holding onto the branch or pushing off the top. Oh, cause your not wearing spurs, another reason why spurs are safer. I one hand around powerlines or not, always securely planted in the tree, anywhere, not dependent on a branch. Try stopping or at least cutting back on the weed for a bit, Xtremely high THC content, hard on the memory.

Sounds like you started this thread just to pick a fight.

So, I'll bite. What does being a CA have to do with saw maintenance? I didn't look at your pics b/c dialup sucks. So assuming that you can maintain a saw, I've known CAs that couldn't and good nonCAs that could run circles around you - regarding anything.

Dakota this is just for you.

I think you should post to my stubb/spar movement thread.

Powerline clearance your right one handing is almost a must. And cut it small.

I ran across a service drop that was getting in the way of two pines this week. The limbs had rubbed the pole, guy wires, 3strand coated weatherproffing service drop in alot of places, I could see exposed wire in alot of places. I came withing inches of it soaked and exausted. I stepped on my wire-core flipline tail to keep it off it.

Thats just my point. C.A.'s should be restricted to climbers only.

What exacty is a C.A. ? Don't tell me to do a search, cause I won't. Based on the pics, you saw looks like it is about 2 years old of daily logging abuse. I can honestly say, that none of my carbs and intakes have ever been covered in pure dirt like yours is. Did it suck dirt and quit running? That must have been the purpose of this thread because no one I know takes care of a saw like that and calls it taking care.

Freakingstang, I HATE to defend xtremetrees, but my new saws will look about this bad after three or four weeks of everyday work. In fact my carb and intake will often look this bad just after two or three days which is why I clean them every day. It is not abuse, just wear and tear when you are in the trees every day. Although I don't know what being a c.a. has to do with saw maintenance.

(Max, if your reading this, sorry. This is about what that 357 that you sold me looks like on the outside. It is still an awesome runner however-just is now broke in.)

I want two hands free for every single cut and that means judicious use of the lifeline and flipline, accurate positioning of yourself to make the cut, and two hands on the saw.

Yes, climbing with bigger saws really requires both hands being on the saw. This alone should encourage the climber to be tied in twice (rope and flipline). Work positioning becomes much more the matter. In fact, work positioning is everything when enjoying the benefits of having a big saw aloft.

I've never used a 372 in the air, but love having the 395 up there. When that happens, you know things are going big and sawdust is gonna fly.
