New cut off saw

[Ratman]

Think it's a ts 400, also have an obscure Italian thing called a baurmant or something like that, that we use as a second saw or anywhere there's a chance of it getting nicked or run over

Whats up with it? Have you stripped it?

No not stripped it. Starter ate itself today, looked like starter housing has worn through.but ongoing injures that it's been limping along with include cracked exhaust , knackered AV mount , cracked air filter cover , temperamental trigger linkage and low compression.

basically the poor things been pleading to be put out of its misery for quite some time.

 

but it has some paving to cut tomorrow so it'll have to have a jump start with drill on flywheel.

 

Think I'm gonna order a makita at weekend.

Yeah I guess the warranty is probably not worth all that much as I'm sure they will have a long long list of reasons why the user has voided it.

They do not offer it full stop. The dealers wrong supposedly. Call them and see.

I'll be honest bud it's not tatty, it's fucked! Most no all plastics will be marked or damaged or slightly melted.

itll get sent to the old mans house for him to play about with, see if he can use it for spares.

 

If it doesn't start tomorrow morning with battery drill it will also have a landrover tyre mark on it.

I always think that stihls have the air filter in the wrong place, if your cutting blocks dry all the dust naturally goes to the handle end of the saw where the filter is.

Dust supression works a treat for that and always easier to clean a litte bit of slurry than a load of dust
