A better way to sharpen a chainsaw..and a farmer's Husqvarna chainsaw review

What happens here

With PPE on, place the chainsaw on flat ground. Engage the chain brake. Some Husqvarna models have a button to release pressure; use it if available. Pump the primer bulb several times. Place your foot into the foot slot (provided for safety) and pull the starter cord until the engine fires. After a successful start, disengage the chain brake and allow the saw to warm up.

Goal: Safely start the chainsaw following recommended procedures.
