T540xp broken AV mount

[MattyF]

Just dropping it on the strop is enough to bend it... I recon some springs are thinner than others as well.

It's a shame you've had a bad experience with the 540.

How did that rear mount get broken ?

I've heard of guys getting saws pinched in a cut and trying to pull them out and bending the rear spring

 

I've dropped it, other people have dropped it, I've dropped it on the strop, got the chain caught on some big box cuts...come to think of it in the twoish years I've had it it hasn't been serviced once. Maybe a little user error is to blame here! I do find with a new chain, cutting on the dogs, it gets stuck all the time. Especially good when that happened at a critical point box cutting a big ash limb in one hit. I nearly lost the whole saw.

anyone know why they jam up? I've seen a few do it.

Mines the same, no problems with

build quality, careful with it but it had taken a fall from about 10 meters unharmed. The chain jamming is annoying me too, think it's the Oregon chains and find them very snatchy, going to get some stihl ones for it

I use stihl chains, I did use full chisel but when i clipped the saw up on my harness it started ripping the guts out of the back right leg of my trousers when climbing so I've gone back to semi chisel. Try the Sugi hara bars aswell, first class.

Been rocking one for a couple of weeks, great so far, I have more confidence in flicking smaller branches with the tip of the bar to get them to land where I want them than the techlite

Un able to comment yet ............

 

 

I've been mindful of your deafening silence on this subject for a while now. The suspense is killing me....,,

Hello everybody I'm new and I mean you no harm. Can anyone tell me where I can get a whole new undercarriage for this T540xp? By the looks of things that's the only way to rectify this situation, unless anyone knows better?

 

That happened to a mate of mines saw. He got itfixed on warranty.
