A couple days ago ther wasa post about freeing a chain frozen by rust. Probably can be freed up pretty easily but ther surely is a reason it was rusted. If it had been used it was likely not performing well and was replaced.

I have been operating chain saws for 50 years and have broken several chains. All just hung up in the wood and caused no problems. There was a legend in our community told by a logger who came from another state and told a tale of a fellow working on the "small end" of a two man Mall and the chain broke. The story goes that the chain struck the fellow on the top of the head and each half of his body fell in opposite directions as he was split completely in half.

The only way I can see that you could be hurt with a broken chain would be if the saw was used in a boring cut or if you were cutting from the top side of the bar.

The guy is a booooob! I have a model 11, 2 man Mall and there ain't no way that can happen. Todays modern saws run at about 10'000 rpms and can make a h-ll of a mess. YES
The Malls run at about 4600rpm wide open and they are a gear reduction saw to boot. They have a three to one gearing so you can watch the chain going a round they are so slow. Not much speed but a lot of cutting power. Any one who would beleave that fairy tail.... Jeffcat
