Hydro dipping a Chainsaw

What happens here

Begin by disassembling the chainsaw's exterior components. First, carefully remove the top cover, which is often held in place by screws. Then, remove the chains, bar, and any other plastic or metal covers that you intend to hydro-dip. Keep track of all screws and parts as they will be needed for reassembly. The instructor demonstrates removing the top engine cover and the brake handle to expose more surfaces for customization.

Goal: Remove external parts of the chainsaw for customization.

  • Mechanic Gloves MS — Protecting hands during disassembly and handling chemicals
  • Ratchet with 13mm Socket GearWrench — Loosening and tightening nuts, specifically for the blade cover
