To start the motor from cold, you’d have to lock the throttle open. The button sticking up on the top of the handle says this isn’t locked open, otherwise it would be down.
So, either the motor is cold and won’t start in this situation, or it’s hot and it will
If it’s hot, it depends on the carb settings if the motor revs up slightly on starting
Usually on older chainsaws, the chain will move jerkily on starting due to age, so worse case scenario this guy will get his trousers stuck in the chain and crushed/torn bollocks
That said, obscured by his trousers is the chain brake. If it’s forward, the chain definitely wouldn’t move anyway
Just someone that’s been using chainsaws for 30 years
Don’t the buttons on the handle need to be pressed for the chain to move?
