That sounds like a good routine for maintenance,You would definately think you are keeping on top of it.
We all should remove clean and inspect the clutch at fortnightly intervals.
This is a good point,Simon shows how to pull the saw down eficiently,We have two tools presented for the same job,Maybe it's not the tools fault but improper maintenance schedule?
Stihl recomend the more hostile the environment the more frequently you should do maintenance,Palms are acidic in nature and will ruin a saw real fast, That could be the reason your thread was damaged by this tool as the corosion locked on the clutch to tight?
Here we go, Not only have we been shown how to eficiently pull down a saw,But, We have now learned how two tools can fail in service.
So inconclusion I put forward that correct and regular maintenance is the secret of long liverty in our saws.
