Curious to find out how many people on the forum service/tune their own saw and how many get their saw serviced at a dealers?
The reason I ask is that a neighbour asked me to remove a biggish limb off of one of his trees, I know he has his own Stihl that he bought a couple of years ago so I asked what was wrong with it. He replied that he wasn't happy using it as the chain kept running all the time.
To cut a long story short the 'fault' with his saw was the tickover had crept up, easily sorted, but he had never adjusted the saw since buying it from new. He knows how to sharpen and tension the chain but that's it.
I always service and adjust my own saws, I was shown how when I took my chainsaw certs, it's not rocket science and only takes a couple of minutes.
What do others do?
