ten years and never once had a problem drop starting a saw holding the top handle.my mate did it the way where you hold the trigger and sawed his toe cap off.how we laughed.the floor start method? if you need to feel this safe with a saw get an office job. chainsaws are dangerous nasty things to be tamed.try getting on a crew if you are too cautious.bit of get up and get stuck in goes a lot further than proper/new way to do things.well thats fate tempted pretty convincingly im off to bed! idiot.
I find the clamp or under the leg works the best for me. I took the Arbormaster level 1 Precision felling and climbing course. Well worth the money. I have been doing tree work for 9 years now with no accidents. Knock on Wood ;-) Work safe guys and Gals..
Stihl owners are the most arrogand and ignorant lot of chain saw owners out there. Just look at the comments on any chain saw video or forum. You people suck.
A decent video illustrating several safe ways to start a chainsaw, and some problems to avoid. As one reviewer mentioned, your user manual is your first source of guidance.
Stihl have a lot of devotees. Komatsu Zenoah are their Japanese equivalent. with Tanaka (Hitachi) a close second for reliability. Zenoah (Komatsu) have just been bought out by Husqvarna, Stihls biggest competitor. Buy what makes you happy and is reliable. Poulan was my worst experience.
good solid advice, yes. But that dude is wearing so much ppe he wouldn't last 5 minutes in a full time job. Boots, trousers, helmet and a good head on your shoulders will suffice.

Good solid advice (yes, finally!) I like to use the "on the ground" start for a cold saw (big ones anyway), and the "clamp between the legs" when they're warmed up. Good job guys.
I don't even think the chain brake even works on my chainsaw..

I'd actaully argue that the method shown at 0.51 is unsafe. The operator is standing or squatting on the wrong side of the saw.
All operators should be on the left hand side of the saw, away from the path of chain, bar, etc.

i wouldnt say the drop start is any more dangerous than those starting methods as long as you do it right.

Hi. The huskie "on" switch confuses me. There is an arrow pointing towards the "stop" sign. Does the arrow indicate the direction for "on" or "stop"?
I watched the video a few times and you seem to slide it in both directions.
Should I slide the switch to the left or right for "on"?
