- Attempt number 2 to clear the downed trees on the Poplar Springs trail was aborted when the chainsaw refused to turn off. We decided that this was probably a safety hazard. Here's what we did, and if anyone knows anything about chainsaws I'd be curious to know if this is a problem or not:
This chainsaw has three settings - off, regular, and cold start. You set it to cold start if you haven't used it for a while, keep trying to start it til it revs (it'll just rev once, then stop). Then you flip it up to regular, and start it again until it revs, and then you can use it normally. We did that, and then turning it to the off switch did nothing - it just kept running. We pulled it down to cold start, and that turned it off, but that probably can't be good for it...
