Guide Review - Review: Stihl's Chain Saw Safety, Maintenance & Operation DVD

Stihl Incorporated has produced an excellent video on the proper use and care of one of their newly purchased chain saws. The company obviously uses the Stihl brand for the demonstrations but this does not diminish at all the information value presented and can be used for all chainsaws - how they work, how they should be operated and maintained.
You will view one hour and three minutes of rapid fire chain saw basics presented in beautiful and crisp DVD video format (it only comes as a DVD). Multiple chapters include chain saw features, maintenance, saw chain sharpening, protective apparel and proper operation. The video is well made with helpful pop-up graphics that highlight specific parts and procedures.
The video has so much information coming at you so fast you will find yourself looking at the movie several times. The format lends itself perfectly to review using pause, rewind and fast forward. I think it is an excellent product for an unheard of price of $5 plus shipping.
