After many years in the industry, Carl Levien decided it was time to go out on his own. The day came, April 1, 1990, when Carl and Beth Levien officially opened Carl’s Mower & Saw. With a clear goal to provide a higher level of service to Whatcom County, they opened their doors and started building a loyal following of customers. They discovered customers were refreshed by the quality of service available to them. Over the past 30 years we have continued to refine our services and provide the top equipment in the industry.

I found this channel while looking for information on the FS 240. Great overview with lots of tips that are easy to miss in the dull text of an owner's manual.

I have a Stihl with the bike handle bar and cannot stand it. Are there any conversion kits available to turn it into a loop trimmer? Or just take the loss, unload it and bend over once again for the right machine?

[therrienmichael]

What I want to see if you can turn the bike handle 90 degrees to edge.

Ive got 13 acres of heavy woods. I want to clear out everything under 4 inches as i will chip the wood to clean everything up so it looks great. Would you suggest this saw or a comercial thinning saw.

Great video! Appreciate it! Question, what’s the deal w break-in period? I think Stihl says something about not running it ‘full load’ for the first 3 tanks. So do I run it at half or 3/4 speed/throttle until I’ve gone through a few tanks if gas?

Question, if u leave the winter shutter open when it’s nkt needed, what’ll happen?

[pettits]

Awesome video, I'm finally ready to break that thing out of the shed and get to work! Did you ever cover blades in another video? I'd be interested to hear opinions. I've got some areas to tackle and need to pickup a blade or two.

One issue I have with the bicycle handle trimmers is I can't lift the back up where the engine is as I'm using it to reach uneven surfaces. It's getting to where I can't use a loop handle for my carpal tunnel. I have to stop every few minutes because I can't feel anything with my right hand.

I really would like to know why certain modles don't have the primer bulb like the fs160 I would really like to know if the fs 250 would be a better buy than the fs 160 I really would appreciate your response brother

When you fitted the brush blade, you should have removed the black part from the shield.

Carl, a couple of suggestions about the video. I’m not sure where the mike is, but it should be on you. For those of us whose hearing has been affected by too many hours with brush trimmers, it was hard to hear.

[outdoordinsmore]

Do you have a link to a video where you talk about better brush blade options?

[billcantrell]

Carl do they still make the fs311 clearing saw? can u do a video on the fs311?

[nolodudes]

My FS 240 doesn't have that grease bolt?
