  1. Before spending any money on someone doing your SEO work for you, read these two documents, and see what you can do yourself. https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/35291?hl=en http://static.googleusercontent.com/media/www.google.com/en//webmasters/docs/search-engine-optimization-starter-guide.pdf These documents are written by the guys that are on the other end of the SEO war, i.e. Google. If, in the end, you decide to pay someone for SEO assistance, make sure that your agreement covers you paying for objectively measurable results, such as the SEO test above Nibbler - Test any website and/or getting higher up on Google search results (anything below top ten is useless) for specific search terms. What I am saying is: pay for results, not for the promise of results. Any SEO "expert" that will not want to agree on such terms are not worth their money. A bit like you saying to your customers: Pay me the money, and then maybe at some point in the future, your tree will be felled.
  2. I made this spec for grinding the CS-100 blades (see attached pdf), which conforms to the current recommendations by GreenMech CS100 Blade Sharpening spec.pdf
  3. I have attached a sharpening spec for the regrinding the CS 100 chipper blades. It is fully aligned with the GreenMech recommendations. CS100 Blade Sharpening spec.pdf
  4. An impact driver makes it very easy to remove the bolts. Make sure you clean out the Torx socket is cleaned out properly so the bit goes all the way in before loosening. I have been recommended by my dealer to tighten at no more than 25 Nm (even though the manual states 35 Nm) and use copper grease on the bolts.
  5. Here is a post containing a picture of the difference between mk2 and mk3, so you can tell which version you get: http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/maintenance-help/81100-prusik-zigzag-mk2.html#post1205930
  6. The "bent piece of metal" that is supplied with new CS-100's is meant to be used as a feeler gauge. By inserting it along the anvil, you can simply slide the sharpened blades down so it touches the gauge. Someone should urge GreenMech to explain this and document it (with pictures) in the manual! I include a picture of the gauge and a set of CS-100 blades for information.
  7. The description says Model Profile: XG So I believe SawTroll is right
  8. Rather than checking the tank vent itself, when it bogs down, you should put the saw on its side and briefly open the tank filler cap (to relieve any vacuum). If that helps, you need to change the tank breather cap. In any case, it sound like a fuel starvation issue.
  9. Possible causes: 1. Tank breather. 2. Fuel filter 3. Carb gauze filter If everything else fails, clean the carb and put in a new carb kit. This video is for a different model, but procedure is identical:
  10. Some links to previous posts on this very subject: http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/chainsaws/57406-running-chainsaw.html http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/chainsaws/72050-do-new-saws-need-running.html http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/chainsaws/50793-running-new-saw.html http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/chainsaws/39333-running-new-saw.html
  11. Why exactly is it that you believe you can't continue using a wordpress.com hosted website? If you let your domain name point to your current <business>.wordpress.com hosted website, I don't see any reason why that would be any less search-engine friendly than if you host it somewhere else. Read this article about how to link you custom domain to your wordpress.com hosted website (blog): Domains — Support — WordPress.com If you don't trust Namehog with your domain registrations/DNS, you can probably redelegate to some other free DNS service.
  12. Just read this article. Thousands of iPhones and iPads being auctioned off. Potentially some very good deals to be had.

  13. You are correct in that assumption when it comes to "religion being an important part of your daily life", 83% of Swedes say "no", compared with 76% for UK and only 36% for USA. But when measured on "having no religion", China leads the pack with 93% answering affirmative. And when asked whether people are Atheist or Agnostic, Vietnam leads with 81%. See Irreligion by country - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia for details (sort columns).

  15. They look just as good but they are not. I have Gelert and North Face duffel bags. The Gelert material gets very stiff in cold weather, making it a pain to zip/unzip. And the straps are very thin (uncomfortable) and the buckles are under dimensioned (break). I now only use the Gelert bags for kit that I rarely need. North Face duffel bags are silly money, but worth it IMHO, for kit you use daily.
  16. tell us what kind of phone you have. Cellular? Android/iPhone/Windows Land line? Different phones have different methods
  17. Check the clutch drum for "wobble" (with chain break released). If it wobbles you need to change the bearing and possibly the drum. Take off the drum first, and check for a piece of string or similar around the crank-shaft near the bearing. Same symptoms. And while you are at it, give it a good clean – a LOT of crud (scientific term) can accumulate behind the drum. Broken or weak clutch springs is another likely cause, as you point out.
  18. Good Japanese chisels can be had at a reasonable cost. They are typically a little quicker to sharpen due to a combination of the laminated blade and the concave back surface. 10 pc set (3mm - 42mm) laminated blade for less than £100: Oire Nomi Japanese Bench Chisels Set of 10 | eBay Similar, but with 3 waterstones at 169: Tataki Nomi Chisel Set - 10 Piece with Free Waterstone Set
  19. Nice and simple. That single wheel would also have been my first choice, if I didn't have to push it up ramps onto my trailer. My double-wheel setup looks like this:
  20. I put it together myself using a couple of fiddle blocks and 10 meters of 10mm rope at a total cost of about £60. The one in the picture is from SherrillTree and similar sets are available around £100-200 all in.
  21. Birch: Mill within a few weeks of felling. If left for months in the round, it will rot and become useless. If left for a year in the round, it will not even be worth cutting up for firewood.
  22. I use a 1:4 mechanical advantage pulley-system for pulling the CS100 up ramps, steps and terrain. The same as I use for pre-tensioning lowering lines in a Portawrap setup. But I have mounted front wheels on my CS100, making it a bit easier to navigate. For a while I considered mounting a cheap winch on the front of the CS100 (Battery powered, with front wheels), as it could be used to navigate up steep terrain, too.
  23. ... or the chain is on backwards
  24. It's marginally slower, and the kerf is marginally wider. But I wouldn't bother filing down to 10° before using the chain for milling. Just reduce the angle to 10° as you sharpen. It honestly does not do that much difference. But I would be happy to hear about some formal tests done with standard cross-cutting chains (filed at 30°) vs the same chain filed at 10°.
