We Canadians say Chainsawpro for the timber guys who are out there and,...you know ....
In the early 70s when SACHS-Hercules was importet into Canada,as a sideline they importet SACHS DOLMAR chainsaws.
To brake into our market the saws where given to the timber pros for very little money.
Because the winter time was quiet time for the motorcycle business,Horst Kempter,Prez of SACHS Canada,ask me to visit the timber camps in the east to see how our saws worked.
A team of two would be working up to 8 hours a day,walking on frozen ground where in the summer would be swamp.Biggest complaint weas,inhaling the fumes of the exhaus coming out in frond of the saw,inhaling very cold winter air,getting sometimes dissy,....
So we started experimention with a flexible exhaust pipe fsatened to a harness on the shoulder.
But was not practical to disconnect when the saw was running empty and was handed over to the helper for filling and sharpening.
So we wend with one of our Pro saws to the then still existing PIONEER chainsaw company in Peterborough.They had a kind of a dyno test bunker to set up there saws for the world champion ship.
Here we mounted our saw and fed her with our SACHS saw oil(yes you get it) OPTI 2 oil.
Over a period of hours we leant the mix out from starting with a 100-1 and decreasing it steadyly until we had reached 300-1.With that mix we run the saw 10 hours non stop.After that we took the saw apart and where amased that absolutely no wear was to be found.We could not convince the timber people to use 300-1 but got them to use at least the 100-1.
Interesting also the story how the oil was original developed.
