Our complete (and insert a string of ban inducing expletivies) of an ex PE Teacher (the bully boy type) turned LA Director.

Borrowed the Council chain-saw, without my knowledge, and took it back to the Council joiner because it was not working properly, the engine was starting and running, but a bit gutless when revved to cut.

Yes you guessed.

The chain brake was engaged.

Doh!

I am going to call that an urban myth bovine excrement sort of thing.

 

If he ran it on neat petrol it would have run for all of 30 seconds so how did he manage to muller the chain and damage the bar like that????????

And then another recons some bloke did a days cutting with the chain on backwards,

and hadn't cut half what we had

 

If you only cut half more than a saw that simply wont cut, you are fired:001_rolleyes::001_rolleyes:

an ex-colleague of mine was filling the chain oil up with 2 stroke for about a month before someone spotted hi doing it. His excuse was someone had said 'that's the oil you use for the chainsaws...' Some people just shouldn't use equipment.
