The product, in the report: Stihl MS271 farm boss
The chain brake on my Stihl ms271 farmboss chainsaw keeps melting and breaking, which is a major safety hazard. Comparing the exhaust on this saw to my pro grade one which does not have the same issue, this almost appears to be [REDACTED] on the part of the manufacturer to direct the exhaust onto the chain brake. Note that the replacement part which is a cheap piece of plastic retails for $70. This has had to be replaced three times now over the past 2 years.
