Easy start ground saw

[doobin]

Having just tried the decomp on my 241 for the first time ever, I think a ten year old could start it! First pull too! Bloody brilliant little saw, especially running 3/8picco. Full chisel too if conditions aren't too shitty.

... or buy that TW230 Mick was trying to get you to look at, don't need a chipper saw then just stuff it in.

Battery saw would be cheaper though.

I do recall in a previous thread that the decomp valve was referred to as the “poof button”,( I use it all the time as I’m getting older ).

Well, we have made some progress with starting the saw.

It seems to be more of a lack of confidence in giving the cord a strong pull.

I'm working on getting her used to correct usage of the brake.

The classic error of using the right hand to push the brake forward and again using the right hand to release.

Holding the saw with arms outstretched rather than close in.

Hard to get strict with your wife without creating some tension but we are rubbing along quite well at work and are managing to get through some surprising jobs together.

Keeps the coin on the family, lower turnover, higher profit.

We are plugging away with the 241 for now as commented by others previously, it really is a very easy saw to start.

Still considering a battery saw though.

 Mrs Lee is quite at home at feeding her chipper and clearing up.

She lacks experience for efficient rope work though she is getting on well with the treerunner bollard.

 Certain jobs which would benefit from both chipper and trailer mean we must make a return trip to clear the wood as sadly Tia doesn't drive.

Yesterday however, a passer by asked about the wood and true to his word cleared it all before we left the site bonus!
