That thing looks like it's been eaten by PALM, Rick!!!

 

How you doing?

 

I was thinking one of those Aliens off the film Aliens had dribbled on it:biggrin:

Erm, embarrasingly its even more prozaic than that. This is what happens when you decide to start up and rev your saw without the clutch drum and brake band in place, is usually accompanied by jagged bits of ally whizzing round your garage and follwed by an expensive repair bill

 

Doh!

 

All is well thanks Martin, apart from the saw obviously, could have got a new rope and a pair of chainsaw pants for the cost of repairs. Bloody annoying. Grrr

Been on a little job jolly up in Cumbria recently with a couple of your other "old boys" Frank & Alex. Hope all is well with you and yours in the sunny Algarve. All the best mate.

 

Regards,

Rick

Mmmm - youre not the only one - purchased a Ryobi with similar damage!

 

Once started a Poulan without a bar and chain on and the clutch exploded - took me two hours to find all the parts with a metal detector - one shoe was 20' away!

 

Lucky it didn't hurt me - you live and learn!
