Just googled the course specification and can't see that it specifies a top handle, but the qual allows you to buy one, from a manufacturer which has adhered the legislation, so I would assume you need to use a top handle. Would be interested to know the answer too just out of curiosity.

Good evening guys

 

 

 

Long time reader of the forum and I have learnt so much over the last few months.

 

 

 

I'm booked to do my cs38/39 in January an February is there anything stopping me from using a ms230 on the assessment?

 

 

Personally I don't see why not. As long as you know the theory and are capable of making the correct cuts from a safe working position.

 

Worth asking your trainer though.

Joe, you're clearly wrong, extendable three section ladder a pair of jeans then 880 on a 48 rested on the branch in one hand is how I do all my work....... Cut and hope is that not how it's done? Only issue is the torque ripping the saw out of your arm and not cutting just throwing the saw, but I find some polypropylene rope on the handle means it doesn't go to far.
