To Blip or Not To Blip Ones Saw?

Me I do it when running long bars in really sappy trees.

What do you guys do?

066logger · 28th December 2010, 10:18 AM

i do when i have my long bar on to keep the wood chips cleaned out of the bar rail so that i dont hafto smoke my clutch to get it goin again after the chain has completely stopped.

Blip blip blip

superfire · 28th December 2010, 11:54 AM

I have been told it causes engine failure

So for my own sick pleasure I blip constantly

Cut4fun · 28th December 2010, 10:02 PM

Maybe on a cold started motor before it is warmed up maybe. But I cant see it at normal operating temps.

Blippers are about as annoying as people that can't rotate pictures.

Just joking.

You look better standing up.

Cut4fun · 30th December 2010, 04:48 AM

superfire's thread got me thinking.

Just like the title says. Blip or not to blip. Thought it would make a interesting poll.

Here is a old video I made to annoy a guy once that said he couldnt stand video's of guys blipping their saws. So I went a little over board just for him, back in the day.

Cutting 23" spruce doing a work chain comparison one day.

i thought everybody did

Eric Frei · 30th December 2010, 08:41 AM

I like to blip it up after the cut under no load, give it a shake too .... might dislodge some junk and help cool it down.

Treeson · 30th December 2010, 09:48 AM

It's rude not to

loggerBOB · 30th December 2010, 10:09 PM

Blip?????

Rrrrinnggg Rrriinnnggg blub blub blub cough cough Rrrrrrrriiiiinnngg rrriinnnggg rrriiinnnggg blub blub blub cough cough Rrrriiiiinnnnnggggg!!!!

Eric Frei · 2nd January 2011, 06:38 AM

Climbers who blip especially with a 200T in the backcut do get on my goat though!

Jeff Darby · 2nd January 2011, 07:51 AM

I try not to do it, but subconsciously I probably do here and there not realising it. I've always seen it as a sign of an untrained operator.imo.

for me theres two speeds idle and flat out !

loggerBOB · 2nd January 2011, 09:36 AM

Ok. I kinda have to do it a fair bit when cutting messmate that is over 300mm in diam as that fluffy bark clogs and jams the bar up, and do it some more if you hit a gum pocket, just to clear the saw and get it all oiled up.

So, Blip the Bleep out of it.

P.s. I've always called it "wanking" cos' most people i have seen doing it don't have a clue

Yeah LoggerBob, the stringybarks are buggers for jamming the chain but where you wrote this:-

There's no doubt about it now, Newguy is a blipping yanker.

"BLIPPING WANKER"

Cut4fun · 3rd January 2011, 05:23 AM

Making sure oil is on the bar and chain before making some test cuts with a crappy dull chain.

Just blip it blip it

CAT1693TA · 3rd January 2011, 10:57 AM

i have always blipped between cuts,i guess i can't say either????????

Treeson · 3rd January 2011, 11:13 AM

Climbers that blip it when they haven't taken the chainbrake off annoy the blip out of me!

Blip, oh, click, brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, blip, click

I tend to use the chainbrake when attaching idling saw to harness or passing idling saw behind back but this is not about chainbrakes.
Blip when it's necessary!
