  • nice

  • If i took that long to start a saw, i'd never shut it off again. Life's too short!

  • No.. atleast not in finland but i bet that if you are minor they wont sell you chainsaw..

  • if you need a video to start a chainsaw, that is the least of your worries, had my 372 kick back at me, lemme tell ya you dont even see it coming...watch your tips gentlemen because if youre not careful itll be the last thing you see

  • If you pull a muscle just starting the saw you probably shouldn't be cutting anyways.

  • is there an age requirement for owning a chainsaw?

  • you should always start a chainsaw with chain brake on especially if you are inexperienced in using one if it does not have a brake dont use it unless you are experienced with it

  • Yeah, I have two of them. I think the basic design goes back to about 1959 or so, the old Contra. Pretty awesome saw in their day. Lots of them still in use out here, 070 and 090's. Guys use them for milling, mostly. They haven't been used for falling since the 70's. I mostly use my little MS170 for firewood etc. I never cease to be amazed at what that toy saw will do! I got it for trimming the brush, and ended up using it for everything. Cute little thing! Feels like a toy after using my 070.

  • Your 070 is modern, but it is the same 070 model that has been made for about 42 years. You can still buy brand new in the box 070's, made in Germany I believe. It is the saw of choice in much of tropical Africa, parts of Asia and S. America. I know from experience when they get to use a modern saw in Africa they embrace it totally, and are amazed at the light weight, quietness, and power. I have pictures of several new in box 070's in Cameroon. They love em-they don't know anything else.

  • My 070AV is fairly modern, but neither it nor the 090 ever had chain brakes. I have a 090 from 1994 and it has no brake on it. Anyway, the 070 is only used for fun, or when someone needs a really big firewood log cut up. Even the AV model vibrates too much to use every day. Also too heavy for constant use.
