Do you need licence?

[doddie82]

Do you have to have a chainsaw licence to purchase a pro saw? I was looking at a husky 550xp or 560.

No you don't

No doddle you don't but a bit of training and basic Ppe if you looking at pro saws is really advisable

[doddie82]

Thank you, it's for private use on my land, as I was looking at a site which sells them in a local store to me and states I must show licence when I collect the saw?

I have all my ppe and have owned a baby saw husky 137 with 15in bar for the last Seven years and now I am cutting some bigger stuff, the 137 is not liking it. The 137 has earned its money in firewood 10 fold when it was new it was £185. Now looking at up grade and local store got husky 550 Xp for £550.

 

I have 8 acres of woodland and the 137 has been doing all the work, and want 550 as their rating is very good and can put 13, 15, 20 bar on if required, but will stay on 15 for time being.

 

Thank you

Any dealer who thinks you need a chainsaw certificate to buy a pro saw is not going to sell many saws with there lack of knowlege,makes you wonder what the after service is going to be like!

[adw]

A 137 hobby saw to a 550 pro saw, chalk and cheese.

There is no such thing as a chainsaw "licence " you mean a certificate of competence and no you don't need that if you using the saw on your own land .
