Bullets and shells. Only third party insurance required (little chance of damage to outside panels), although the gun cupboard/licence maybe a slight problem for the barrel (I believe it only requires a shotgun licence depends if its smooth or rifled) condition on firearms licence "Stump Removal Only"???

An electric motor has less of a tendancy to slow down under load than a petrol engine. An electric powered 14cfm compressor is fitted with a 3hp motor but use a petrol engine and you'll need a 5.5 hp petrol engine...

Now wheres those wheel adapter plates for me Corsa.....on ebay... Theres very little point in nicking those wheels, some what limited market place me thinks. PS. Warranty maybe invalid now as well....

I doubt if your hiring in a lorry mount the driver/operator will allow you to operate the boom. Theres a different IPAF license category for a mewp and a lorry mounted boom. Ask yourself would you want to be in a cage with someone you haven't worked with before using a chainsaw, ask the owner/operator before you hire the boom different firms have there own HS Policies. A person who is trained to recover the boom in an emergency on the ground, should always be part of the ground crew.

As stated above its all down to available pressure and flow rates. You could possibly fit a 2 stage flow rate pump if you intend mainly using it to power a log splitter. Personally I'd buy a self powered splitter and save the fuel costs of the disco. Below is a link to some calculation utilities that may help you and others. Baum Hydraulics Corp :: Spec Calculator

I believe they have to have all your details "perfectly correct" to process with the prosecution. If its worded or spelled incorrect it doesn't apply to you. The letter is not addressed to you..."I returned it to Royal Mail for delivery to the correct addressee"...Not Known At This Address....

Sorry, we seem to have a mis-understanding, I fully agree that they should offer some PPE for the purchaser I'm not arguing that point, even someone you could ask questions, but thats what "Operator Manuals" are for the trouble is generally, they are just filed. What I'm trying to clarifiy is for my own interest, "is there a legal requirement to have chainsaw certs for commercail work or is it a HSE recommended guideline that has now become the norm" as in people see a HSE guidelines as an unwriten law not a recommendation.

I work in the mewp access industry there are the usual guidelines set by HSE, IPAF and other training bodies. Its is not a legal requirement to have training or a operating ticket for a mewp, in fact there is no legal requirement to even wear a safety harness in a mewp, sensible yes but a legal requirement no. I was at Capel Manor Show a few years ago, I asked about the cost of chainsaw training, I was lead to believe by their staff that I had to attend one of their mewp training course before I could attend a course for using chainsaw in a mewp, even though I held an "IPAF Demonstrators Licence". Now don't get me wrong I'm not against training, but there are some companies/training bodies that are using the HSE guidelines just to screw money out of people for training. And controlling the purchase and use of equipment by requiring them to have something that isn't even a legal requirement. One question, is it a legal requirement to have chainsaw certs or is it just highly recommended for work purposes, not private home use???

Any of the dealers wish to comment?????

A Question. Which piece of law states that person may not buy and use a top handle chainsaw??? Note: I have owned and operated chainsaws for over 35 years.

They've done the same at the "Ship & Shovel Traffic Lights at Dagenham on the A13. Tripled the length of the traffic jam in the morning (took me an hour this morning to cover 3 miles) and now it lasts until midday slowly shortening over the morning, its funny how the "Highway" is almost empty even in the height of the rush hour.... One might think they playing games with us....

Just out of interest whats the max height/reach?

My first saw was a McCulloch Mini-mac. It was always a bitch to start when it was warm, never did manage to sort it, in the end brought a little husky 42 and never looked back, I still use the 42 a great little saw.

1b covers: trailer, tracked and lorry mounted boom platforms. 3b covers all self-propelled platforms, there are currently no height restrictions to any categories. So you could pass your IPAF (cat 3b) on a 30ft boom and then the next day operate a machine that is driveable at 150ft... Categories | Training | English | IPAF
