I use the plastic ones. If/when they break they are easy to remove & I have never damaged an engine with one
-
I never did find any evidence where that calculation came from Andy ( anyone help please ) Seems very random & does not take into consideration drip-line, soil type, surface type/permeability etc To try and utilise a formula seems limiting

Beardsworths in Cleckheaton. Within 1/2 mile of junc 26 m62

Not a constructive comment potty mouth. Nice when those who know better share there wisdom
-
A larger saw would cut straight through the ballistic material would it not?
-
441 is a great reliable saw.

A carefully written risk assessment, stating why you have made a decision & what effect it has. If you cannot prove that you are at a reduced risk through wearing type a as opposed to type c then, you should not be wearing them. It is your personal safety & well being you are dealing with. VERY important IMO
-
I work for a myopic local authority & as a result - despite complaints, am using type c for climbing in now & there restrictive nature means I work at an increased risk of accident as opposed to the sensible & cooler type a trousers

It's actually flawed casting. Micro cracks allowing air through
-
I find that thirst & hunger are easily mistaken. Have a glass of water before that 2nd helping
-
Try contacting the supplier. They will be able to help I am sure. Or contact Stein directly & ask them about the absence of instructions
-
Wash the rope first. Dirty lines don't grip as well. After that it's a worn clutch, not much else I can think of
-
Running a rope hard through a fig 8 will increase the twisting
-
Attitude, aptitude & ability (physical & mental). Age is not an issue all other things being equal. HOWEVER being young & dumb or older with the "I'm above that.." attitude automatically would exclude you Learn to walk the walk then talk enough about it to get you the job
-
There is a practical half-way between the two extremes. I'll call it "good practice" Stay tied in at all times - twice if your behaving yourself. Even though you don't do the paper-work, look after your kit & inspect it on a regular basis. Limit 1 handed saw use & cut & holding. When done, done with care - plus try & use slings on bigger bits as it protects your elbows Save all your MEWP jobs up & try & do them in a day etc Not what many want to hear but it's that sadly lacking common sense application. It's a hard industry that required physical & mental toughness & the essential use of grey matter.

No. Same job, just spending longer wearing hi-viz. I hate the cheap ones as Velcro never stays shut. I have some with a zip at the moment - a big improvement but always looking to get a more substantial one as opposed to disposable ones currently used

How do you estimate the tax you are going to pay?
-
Bailey's - Oregon Surveyors Safety Vest Does anyone selll these or anything comparable here in the UK?
-
Unless your milling, do you really need a massive saw that, although looking pretty on the shelf, will try & kick your butt everytime you use one? 66 or 395 depending will fell 99.9% of trees here in the UK
-
Dual port muffler is available from any good stihl dealer. It is a production part
-
Not tried it with a large line to be honest. 1/2 inch max
-
It does work very well Rich.
-
When assessed did every saw have a new sprocket chain & bar. Bad sharpening & wear of the others will give erroneous results
