Or use it and break it within the 3 years, then get the Mrs to take it back for a full refund!.

A customer mentioned this the other day he said he was going to buy one for a laugh and at the least he would use it for a chipper snedding saw.

 

It does make us look silly asking for certs for a top handle saw when people can just pop down to lidl and buy one.

Its not the saw that's dangerous,its the idiots using it ,if it isn't a top handle it will be a ground saw used off ladders...its about time people who buy a saw take accountability for using it  , maybe they will realise how complex and dangerous tree surgery is.

No doubt the hse will lump all accidents together -rather than splitting them between home owners and professionals .

I agree but not with the idiot part, as I would be an idiot with the scars to prove it! 

 

Its more to do with home owners having accidents cutting up firewood that caused the issue IIRC and yes they did lump all the accidents together hence the requirement to ask for certs. A customer came in yesterday with one, I wasnt around but he was asking if we could get replacement bars and chains. He said they were selling like hot cakes and it was all the old dears diving in to get one. Hopefully there wont be another HSE or whichever body tried to ban the sales investigation in 6 months time.
