What happens here

To prepare the chainsaw for cutting, the presenter instructs the user to insert the Milwaukee M18 REDLITHIUM FORGE XC8.0 battery into the designated slot on the chainsaw until it clicks firmly into place. Following battery installation, it is crucial to ensure the chain brake is initially engaged (in the 'on' position) for safety. Once ready to cut, the chain brake must be disengaged by 'kicking it in,' which makes the chain 'live' and capable of spinning.

Goal: Safely power up and activate the chainsaw's cutting mechanism.

What they say

Hide

with the most powerful motor we've ever put in a handheld tool before. It provides 5.8 peak horsepower. This thing's really a world peak. So I'm going to let you run this thing on peak power mode. Okay, just make sure chain brake right now is on. Yep, got to kick it in. Yep. Yep. It's live. Okay. Got it, man. If you don't mind, just make it a sliver over there. Oh, yeah, limited lock. No problem. It's like the switch. Wow. So easy even a plumber could do it.
