Just a small preventative care tip for everyone out there concerning chop saws. We have always used those heavy Stihl saws to cut literal miles of concrete paving joints. We use the special carts whenever we can to help keep straight lines, and constant depths. Anyway, we keep small air-chuck nozzels on all of the trucks. Just as soon as we would finnish sawing, a guy always takes the saws to the nearest gas station to blow them out while they are still hot. That is really important. That abbrasive dust is the biggest humidity magnet in the world!! The longer the machine cools, the less dust you will get out and the more wear you will have. I am happy to say that I have had several saws for better than 5 years. Now if I could just get the guys to quit busting the recoil ropes! Hope this helps someone. Tim
