    What tool did you use for sharpening?
    Seems like the correct file would be 4.5mm diameter for this chain, which is a bit of an unusual size..

      Think it was a 4 or 4.5mm know the size was a weird one when i checked.

    Hello my friend. I have a little question. I have GBA 18v 2.0Ah M-8 batteries. I do not know if they will fit in the Bosch UniversalChain 18V tool... this new tools have a new batteries called "All 18V" where this batteries will fit in all bosch products... my batterie comes from a GSB 18-2 Li plus drill so i do not know if the batterie will fit on the universalchain.

    Hi, Your technique of holding the saw with one hand while holding the branch with the other is super dangerous. You don't have adequate control of the saw doing that.....that's how you can seriously hurt yourself. Please, please, don't do that!! Even with slow chain speed it will still be a very bad accident. Much better for your situation to secure the log in a saw horse or similar.

    • @fiveminuteman
      @fiveminuteman  7 місяців тому

      You know the rotation speed is super slow right? You think i would do the same with a petrol saw? Come on.

    • @jbell4255
      @jbell4255 7 місяців тому

      @@fiveminutemanThe chain is fast enough to cut wood, therefore fast enough to easily cut skin, muscle etc. By using it incorrectly you greatly increase the likelihood of hurting yourself. A simple improvement to your working practice will keep you and your viewers much safer. I've no idea what you'd do with a petrol saw, but the same hazardous exposed chain is present on both.
