Thanks for the replies guys

 

Ok so now I have insight into the ratings and what they mean (type a / Class 1)

 

Will look for other pants/trousers/chaps, and see if i can get the helmet alone. Have safety glasses already, and will get some CS boots.

 

Just to clarify, longest walk in the kit will be about half a mile, but will wear it at home when cutting logs (more like 8-10inch) just to be safe.  No point wearing it out, then getting laxy daisy when at home.😇

 

Yay or nay on gloves?  When handling chain etc for checking tension?

 

Thanks again

Don't grab the chain and pull backwards on the bar and you'll never slip off and take a chunk out a finger, and gloves aren't needed.  

 

What's the AV on the 135?  If it's springs, maybe try without, if it's rubber then get gloves.

AV?

 

Edit, anti vibration rating..........noob🤫

 

3.7 / 3.5m/s² (Front / Rear Handles)

 

LowVib featured on this model adds comfort to the user by the effective anti-vibration dampeners which absorb vibrations.

So it’s a paid job, not on your property…
Do you have anyone else with you?
Or do you plan on working alone?

Hi there.  The chap recently built the house and paid me to install the cinema.  In the "woods" to the rear of the property there are quite a few trees.  We had a chat about them, and he wants them gone.  I asked if I could have a few to cut up for firewood, and he's offered me as much as I want.

 

After I have taken what I want he plans to get some heavy machinery in and level the lot.
