    You could point out that blunt chains strain the power pack, wear the operator out and cost money by cutting slower = longer day !! K

    All that cack on saw is from blunt teeth ( an the wear pattern) chainsaws are nearly self cleaning with sharp teeth = no dust just shavings. K

    Its the rule of Three in forestry, three files to a chain, three chains to a bar ( and sprocket) three bars to an overhaul. AV mounts / filters and bands. K

    @Big J the Scandinavian countries are a different part of the spectrum, i wouldnt compare - this is a Virus, it will mutate, a vaccine may not work fully and each countries economy works differently. We will see this impacting us for a generation or two until better controls or some degree of resistance is acquired. K

    When yr oiling it - the fibre core absorbs a lil oil which helps. I used to run my rope through an old mop head to clean it , then nother mop head soaked in oil if kit was going in store fr a bit. Plus having a spare pulley to drag yr rope right out n rewind under tension is good practice ( pulley on a tree an shackle end on tractor n wind in with a bit of hand brake on ) k

    @Acer ventura exactly that. I tree survey in Rail, and ( dunno if you were there ) Clause Mattheck turned to us at the end of his last lecture at Loughborough and basically the gist was , to fell All Trees within strike distance of the rail, as it will be impossible to stand in court and defend a tree failure in our circumstance with the surveying resource available- against the catastrophic damage and consequential liabilities. Wish I had that bit recorded but he does go on a bit and missed my chance. K

    Very good, a respectable challenge to the Prosecution -there. I would only add that it was 'storm force ' winds that initiated the catastrophe, which in most inspections you could never predict, even if you were Michael Fish. Root plate decay issues can require invasive inspection, who is going to pay for that ! K

    When it comes to ( not electronic carbs) I have found once it's settled in, tune it by ear then see what it's like fr a week. I have never had bother tuning carbs by ear ( it's a gift I suppose ) Definately find they are running better than factory settings. K

    Yup , Any engine needs gentle - but through the range- use to bed it in. Four or Two stroke, I use a tankful cutting at 3/4 throttle on my saws, then see how it feels, but don't scream it fr a few days till I'm sure. K

    Might be more apt to polish a skinny turd and stick a monacle on it. No mate, the irony is better, it would let him be seen as something the pigeons can shit on ? K
