Chainsaw use time?

[diesel55]

What does occassional use mean for a chainsaw?

[Oregon_Rob]

That's the typical response of most addicts! :D
In my book, that means under 5 cords a year. I could be wrong and according to my wife, I usually am!

[rebocardo]

The way the warranty reads, 50 hours a year, or an hour a week.

To me it means as much as possible before the warranty runs out and not so much after it does  :D.

[Preston]

I have to agree with Reb it all depends on how much you use it and before the warranty runs out

[Tom]

I think that occassional means that you have used the on/off switch.

[iain]

off switch?

[Tom]

Yeah!

It's that little do-dad that makes the saw motor quit while you still have gas in it.   :D

[iain]

what and stop work early?                 are you MAD
whats a mc cormick-deering?

[Stan]

McCormick was the guy who invented the reaper. Deering was the fellow who had enough money for the factory.  :P

[SwampDonkey]

Yeah he must have been reading the warrantee labling. My Stihl thinning saw never put a time figure on occassional. But, it implies that your not using the thing any more than 4 or 5 days a month. I don't get it, since its suppose to be a professional model. Doesn't speak much for the warrantee. ;)

I have 20 some Stihls and can't ever remember taking one in for warranty.I say 20 some because I haven't counted recently. There all over in the skidder in the trucks in the mill.
 Occassionaly I'll shut the saw off long enough to fill her up. I wonder if thats what they mean by occassional :D ;D
