Good idea. Buy your favourite semi-chisel chain, and file it at 10° top plate angle. Or even gradually reduce the angle from the standard (30° or thereabout) to 10° as you sharpen the chain. It is not really a big problem milling with a standard (non-ripping) chain.

Once left my rope in a tree. Winter time and light rain. When I arrived in the morning, it was freezing, and the rope was rock hard. Impossible to climb

Macbook Air 11" or 13" screen, see Apple (United Kingdom) - MacBook Air They are light, thin, sturdy and with a record breaking battery life of 12 hours. They also tend to maintain their usability/value over time, much better than other (Windows based) laptops.

I have finished CSM boards using an electric hand held planer https://www.festool.com/Products/Pages/Product-Detail.aspx?pid=574550&name=Planer-HL-850-EB-Plus It is, in my opinion, more efficient at removing material than sand paper (belt sander). But each to his own, I guess...

Domestic and commercial snow clearance. Paid by subscription or hourly. Fits in quite well with the arb low-season.

To save a little money, go for the Aluminium Gecko spikes. They are as comfortable as the carbon ones, but more durable (you CAN walk on concrete), adjustable length, and only unnoticeably heavier. -
True. Updating via iTunes requires less memory on phone/tablet, since it doesn't have to store the download itself. Connect the device to the PC, open iTunes, select the phone and choose to update iOS. Google for exact guidelines, as it depends on iTunes version. (I have a MacBook Air, so I'm not much use)

In one word: No

As long as the octane level is above 89, you should be OK. Lower octane levels may cause "knocking" (premature detonation prior to ignition timing). Different octane levels do NOT (by itself) require carb adjustment. STIHL USA has an informative page on fuel in their equipment, including the potential harmful consequences of using ethanol mixed fuels: Gasoline Guidelines for STIHL Outdoor Power Equipment | STIHL USA Mobile Obviously, STIHL MotoMix may be substituted by any other Alkylate fuel such as Aspen.

That is not nit-picking! That is correcting an error Fortunately (for me), the 23 dB SNR was not my figure. The updated ratio, comparing SNR: 31 dB - 26 dB = 5 dB is a difference of just about 300%, i.e. the Protos hearing protection lets through 3 times as much sound power than the MSA Sordins
-
It's acutally much more difference than that. 31 dB - 23 dB (SNR) gives a difference of 8 dB. But sound intensity is measured using a logarithmic scale, where a 3 dB change is equal to double/half the sound pressure. So when 23 dB SNR unit lets through about 6 times (600%) as much sound energy as a 31 dB SNR unit.

Start off rubbing with some solvent (thinner) on a scrubbing sponge to dissolve and remove any (hardened) fat/oil/grease and possibly some of the varnish. Then sand. Otherwise the sand paper will immediately be clogged up with gunk. This process will also ensure that the new treatment will bond better to the wood.

Alkylate fuels are also available at some OK/Q8 stations for as little as SEK 18.75/liter => £1.60. See Drivmedel Not that it is very relevant for this thread

True, but Aspen is also sold in... * 25 liter canisters for SEK 725 (£62) => £2.48/liter (at "Granngården" where you took your photo) * At Aspen pumping stations (typically located at Husqvarna dealers) for SEK 22/liter => 1.88/liter. All above prices are inclusive of 25% VAT. All "pro users" will obviously buy at the pump. But I understand that 25 liter plastic canisters is not viable for the UK market, and that the current volumes do not justify dedicated pumping stations. For information, there are 132 dedicated Aspen pumping stations located throughout Sweden (information obtained from Hitta köpställen för Aspen alkylatbensin )

What about the Stihl MS201? Back handle, pro-design, lightweight. Everything you are after.

Don't use pure rapeseed oil, if you plan to leave the saws on the shelf for months. Use a bio oil with additives to prevent/slow oxidation, such as Stihl Bio Plus

ART Positioner with swivel, mounted via small webbing link (not shown on picture) Love it!

Why the pull/tagline in the top? It seems it already had plenty of lean the right way.
