Any citations for that?

Its pretty pointless continuing this, you are a clown of the first order.

He has found life extremely difficult since the incident and continues to suffer both mentally and physically. Apparently so, must have been a bit grim.

You couldn't be more wrong. First off this wasn't a whole tree chipper or he would be dead, you were talking wtc weren't you?????? Second, the reason he is alive is probably more to do with it not being a large machine and less to do with the reaction speed of his mates. He simply wouldn't fit so once the machine had got as far as his shoulder (a matter of seconds) his mates had all the time in the world to shut the machine down. Third the reason he became injured is It also failed to follow published guidance on the control measures required when using wood chippers. That sounds suspiciously like the chipper wasn't fitted with the current HSE specification in feed protection device http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/ais38.pdf Here is a bit of reading on how the HSE views lone working http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/indg73.pdf So once again where did you get this impression that we let (particularly foreigners) engage in dangerous lone working on these many whole tree chippers that we just don't have??????

What evidence of this do you bring for me to refute for you?

Maybe in your world, have you been drinking?

Not per se but there is a hand fed chipper qualification that's more or less mandatory because the HSE (OSHA) says so. Who hand feeds a whole tree chipper, do you have men that can drag whole trees?

WTF? Where did you get this impression? It doesn't need refuting because it only exists in your head Have you ever been to the UK? How many whole tree chippers do you think there are in this country? I haven't a clue myself but most of us can go for months without seeing one.

I don't suppose a great deal would come of it if you were just removing the epicormic growth from around the base but technically it needs an application.

Yes but you should make an application

Looking as an outsider. A casual chat at break time and he didn't object, but then again he didn't say he was fine with it did he. You changed the status quo and just because someone else is fine with it doesn't mean everyone else should be.

Mine is just fine, no problems with bar or chain. The paintjob is OK but the writing did rub off in under a week

If the corrosion were obvious it would have come under loose or dangerous body parts I have had trucks fail on corrosion to air tank straps.

You can laugh but I did an inspection for a LA once and one of their guys had used a round file to put three notches down the spine of several brand new biners:confused1:

Get a company in to do the TM for you

Just my thoughts on the Snap On I have a small mig built by cebora a mate has the same set badged by BOC but with a Cebora plate on the back Another mate has a Snap On mig badged snap on and plated Cebora They are all the same machine but the snap on one was more than 3x the price of the others. These the reason you get a lifetime warranty, its because you paid for 3 machines at the outset.

That may be true BUT if the marking is done properly you wont be outside LOLER

That's different tree, what you call a sycamore isn't what they UK calls a sycamore

This depends on establishing the position of the boundary to a degree of accuracy, which is not always that simple You can also look at the tree from a trespass point of view, the tree belongs to the majority owner and is trespassing on the neighbour.

You don't get it do you, the Hobbs is a proprietary device that's been through all the hoops and tests. It is a certified device, this thread is about home made non certified kit. Naysayer?................... like I said, I write this as a man who has made many lowering devices, including the one I use daily.

What again? every time I opt out of one spam they start another. I shouldn't have to opt out, none of the other dealers spam me, it just smacks of desperation.

Except that if it does go wrong they will take your money, your kit, your house and your happy retirement. And I say that as a man who has made several lowering devices.

And yet again I find myself on the end of orange plant junk mail, this time its text messages I have no PPI claim I don't want laser eye surgery and I don't need a chipper STOP SPAMMING ME

I can do that for you

What do you need doing mate?
