steve- you are totally correct. i have seen/ learned that there are better ways to do this. but hindsight is 20/20 right. i had that chain on pretty tight at the start of the cut, but the heat generated from binding the saw in the curved cuts elongates the chain significantly. thus the fall off. thanks for the watch!
I wuz waiting for that chain to come off... Lucky your hand wasn't underneath when it did! It wouldn't be difficult to make a little bracket between the two bolts through the bar, and mount a strong handle on there to push on with perhaps a guard in case you slip - then you wouldn't have to lean so hard on the saw and put your hands in vulnerable places. ;)
