STIHL 462C Pro SAW...Is it worth $1100? You WON'T BE SURPRISED!!

What happens here

To start the Stihl MS 462 C, first press down and pull the trigger simultaneously to engage the choke. The presenter then places the chainsaw on the ground, bracing it with his foot, and gives the pull cord a couple of strong pulls. The chainsaw starts up after a few attempts. He then adjusts the oiler to its maximum setting for initial use on the hard oak log. He confirms the chain is getting adequate oil flow during a test cut.

Goal: Successfully start the chainsaw and perform a test cut on an oak log.
