Bow bar chainsaw - video

[hemmjo]

I always thought those bow type bars are actually for cutting brush type vegetation and small trees as the open part of the box prevents the bar from getting pinched.

There is supposed to be a guard along the top part of the bar, like there is on the lower video, as the chance of "kick back" is much greater with a bow bar that a regular bar.

That guys chain will not last very long running it into the ground like that.
