Shoutout to the old timer in Spokane who told me to stop flushing my saw after every cut
I was bucking a big ponderosa last Tuesday and an old timer named Hal stopped by to watch. He watched me pull the chain brake and blow the bar off after every few cuts, then asked if I did that with my truck too. He said constant stop and start builds up heat and lets the chain stretch unevenly, and I should keep steady pressure with the throttle on and let the saw do the cutting. Spent the rest of the day running it his way and the chain felt cooler and stayed sharper longer than my usual routine. Any of you run into this with your own saw habits, or am I just slow to catch on?
