Just imagine the clamping force!
NOT the world's most powerful chainsaw. lol These probably aren't, either.

We used to take an angle grinder and file down the drag links... it'll grab just a Lil at first, but once it starts moving, boy.. think damn near throwing 2x4's at you! Competition cut, my mentor called it
It's only the letters that are upside down.
I'm imagining both clamping forces!
It's a bar, not a blade. They're not directional, so they can be flipped over. The reason is that the top and bottom of the bar do not wear out at the same rate, so, you flip the bar over to even out the wear so the bar lasts longer. How often it needs to get flipped depends on how you're using the saw and what you're cutting.

Keep that chain brake tuned up things could get messy

Well, I don't do that for a living much, but, I can say, after 12 hrs, we tossed the spark arrestor/ muffler and disabled the brake, even on brand new saws. 2 kinds were all we used, Stihl and Husqvarna. The Husqvarna has (or did have) and aluminum head. Gotta let her get cool after about 10 minutes....

Got an old husky 266, bought it summer 84. Thing has cut 7 cords poplar to stove length every year since plus whatever else. 2 bars countless chains, one piston and rings, one carb job. My favourite saw.
Will be firing it up soon as next years fire wood will be delivered shortly.

Don’t know much about Stihl. Google should give you an idea. Kerosene and and a air compressor, you know everything works better after a *******
My favourite place on earth is Stihl in the forest !
BTW.. chain brakes are important... Chaps are importanter....wear them! My Father's pocket knife that I always carry saved me here...

In his case, the blade was on backwards too.
You ain't kiddin. That's why when I see someone playing with a chainsaw, I just shake my head. Talk about major destruction in a minimum amount of time.

One of my friends has an unlimited blasting license. Helped him for month on a few jobs. Lots of work drilling and packing holes for 30 sec. of glory Does look cool through binoculars.
Yup...it actually cut once they flipped over the bar/blade.
Like a big dog.
........And the chain is on backwards. (1:07)
Damn, should have read the whole post.......What RRR said!
The better question is why didn't they notice it was upside down before trying it?
