Quick video today showing how to get your chainsaw to shut off if the choke switch won’t do it – including a safe-ish way to shut it off before you fix, and how to switch your Stihl MS 290 from Summer to Winter mode, because why not?

If you’re not carrying around a chainsaw wrench with your saw, why not? Here’s one you can buy off Amazon through my affiliate link, which helps out the channel at no extra cost to you:

My Stihl Farm Boss MS290 saw wouldn’t shut off after I was done cutting, so I found out how to manually stop it, sort of safely, and then I found out that there wasn’t a YouTube video on how to do it, so I quickly recorded one [can you tell?] in the hopes of helping someone else fix their own chainsaw.
