I've always been careful about fire, keep my shop swept up and mindful about the wood stove. I have friends whose shops are a mess everywhere you look. Just goes to show.... I'm more than careful now, I guess you could say paranoid.

Thanks, Steve. Some folks really helped me out. Two brothers I know hauled away all my burned wood and stuff, said they would finish it off in a rice field. An architect brought by a real nice back door that I cut cut down to fit, better than what was on there before that burned up. My...

Magnus, heat at an electrical circuit connection is the cause that is pointed to. Something sparked before the breaker tripped. The fire department was very through, must have spent a good two hours looking over the wires in the corner where the thing started. They came back the next day to...

The heat was so intense under the steel girders and slate roof that the plastic ducts for my dust system all the way at the other end of the shop melted. Miraculously nothing over at that end caught fire, though wood in every direction and machines close by. Counting my blessings, but it has...

My 090 G has a decomp on the top of the saw that is on a spring. You have to keep your finger on the button pushing in when pulling the starter rope. It must be the model especially made for Canadians to drop start. ;)

I think that generally speaking, you can overcome kick or what you call it, by first pulling the starter rope out until it engages the piston, then a powerful fast pull utilising as much rope as you can. Emphasis on powerful. My impression is that it overpowers the tendency to kick. Pulling...

There's technique to starting a large saw that doesn't have a decamp valve. Just saying....
