garage some time .--yes I've thrown a clutch drum before .

I did that one time and I thought I had it tight. It was in
the garage and pieces were every where.
When at work I check saws all the time with the clutch cover off
so I can look for oil coming from the oiler. I do not rev
them to high though, I don't want to loose a clutch there.

The trick is not to repeatedly blip the throttle. ;D

The 'trick' is to NEVER start the saw without a bar/chain on it
right after installing the clutch. Put a bar and chain on it
and run it for a minute or so (with several 'revs') first.
That'll tighten the clutch tighter than you can with a wrench
(without breaking anything). Then you can safely run it with
the bar/chain off if you really feel the need to do so....
That clutch can do serious damage to people and property when it
comes off/apart. I worked at an old shop with a high tin roof
and tin walls. There were several shrapnel holes in the roof
and one wall over/next to one of the benches. Years before I
got there, some guy did the no-chain rev up thing after
reinstalling a clutch. He was seriously injured (along with the
damage to the roof and wall)....
