Absolutely, and that is just the first day..... People do forget, in our soft cosseted modern lives we are separated from some of the big realities of our past, that gave the way of life we have today.

Same here Old Mill, I have used them for as many years and found I have had less trouble, reasonable performance, and good backup. It's a good brand, and the company are quick to put things right in the event, without leaving you saw less.

Total respect to all those who fought, and died there.

The battery saws are improving, it is the way forward in the long run, but you have to lover the cackle of a little 2 stroke going about its work.

They are good saws, and the little top handle saw is a cracker, but echo have responded to isolated incidents in a fast and thorough way, so quite how they have gone to the 'oposite' I'm not sure, but if your opinion is based on hands on experience I bow to your opinion.

That's above and beyond good service.

That's bad news mate, hope it doesn't hold you up too much, I know how it feels...

Not sure about the makers, but plenty of red herring will be about after today....

Lovely picture Silky.

Training is good, but some safety knowledge goes a long way, use the chain brake when not cutting, keep a reasonable grip on the saw, avoid the nose of the bar touching anything, understand tension and compression in the wood to ascertain what cuts to do, watch out cutting on sloping ground as released wood can roll, keep the chain in top condition, always try to have someone know what your doing and where, and have a phone on you, avoid trip hazards and keep your feet apart an be balanced. That's a start, but in no way comprehensive.

If it runs a 1/4 inch chain slap a stihl chain and bar on, that might be interesting...

Good school run motor if you don't drive in high heal shoes, they are not built or aimed at true sharp end comercial work. If you want a work motor the choices are getting more limited, as so many pickups are targeting the leafy suburb client.

If the fuel system is all up to spec, suspect an ignition component breaking down under heat,it does happen, from plug cap right back to spark source.

If it's done a couple of hours work it would be a good time to do it, you may have to richen up on the H screw 1/8 to 1/4 turn, (anti clockwise).

Thank you Jef, sounds like great customer care, to the extent of being unique!
-
Link? Did they work? Just asking like...
-
I would have thought so, the returned saws are going to be destroyed.
-
I would imagine that applies to various saws.

Quite fascinating, and eloquently told, I too tip my hat to the groundies, and those who feed them from the canopy.

Ignore the mess, I'm ripping out an old bathroom, here's the raptor as I bought it.

:biggrin:Good to hear you getting up and about mate, bloke I know is having a plaster cast off tomorrow, I have been putting bits of chocolate down the top at the back of it, can't imagine what the nurse will think happened to him...

A 3x6 foot plot if we're lucky, but only for 70 years...
