Test Cutting with Stihl MS 500i

What happens here

With the Stihl MS 500i warmed up and the safety gear on (though the presenter temporarily forgets to lower his face shield), perform several test cuts on a large log. Observe the saw's performance, noting its responsiveness and cutting speed through the wood. Cut a complete 'puck' or slice from the log to visually inspect the internal condition of the wood, confirming its suitability for firewood rather than milling. The presenter notes the muffler gets hot.
