Hey nice video! Just finished my owl and can't wait to start my bear ;) But i have a problem: The peak of my carving bar (no sprocket) gets very hot after a couple of minutes.... is that something to worry about? (I use a special chain oil and the chain itself has a low chain tension; all stihl products)

[@sussexchainsaw2957]

Hi. make sure to run your carving chain much looser than you would with a normal saw. it should hang a bit so you can see a few teeth. this is because the carving bar doesn't have a sprocket in the end like a normal chainsaw bar. if it is still getting hot, loosen it a bit more. hope this helps.

[@heyhuinscherben]

thanks for your answer. i will test it tomorrow!
What oil do you use to run the chain?

[@sussexchainsaw2957]

any old chain oil really. i just get the cheapest. but it might be worth switching it up if your having problems, just to make sure.
