    Brake on when moving, Brake on saw at idle on ground when repositioning a log. Never throw start.

    Well a lot of my saws do not have brakes and the ones that do I do not use. The brake is there to help with kickback. If you feel comfortable using a chain brake then by all means do so.

    As far as idling a saw if it is going to be sitting for longer than a minute I shut it down. If my saws do not start right back up then I will work on it so it does. Usually just a carb adjustment.

    I run my saws in all kinds of environment's from hot to cold and 8000ft. to 5000ft. So adjustment of the carb is something that I am used to.
