    hi. when i feed branches into my 328 they slide to the right every time (towards the inside of blade) and the anti-stress is kicking in all the time even on 2 inch stuff. blades are sharp and springs seem to be tensioned evenly. i always thought the feed system was designed to send the timber more towards the outside of the blade where it travels faster. any suggestions? thanks

    good idea to combine quote sheet and job card, i,ve been doing both seperately and noting major hazards and costumer quirks etc on job sheet. i would be reluctant to combine risk assessment in case it would tempt crew not to assess site for themselves when doing their site safety plan on the day

    i use toothpaste all the time thorn stabs, scrapes etc. very soothing when hands start to sting in the evening. never occured to me to use it on bites.

    sounds like ye get payed a lot quicker in uk. most commercial work takes 60 to 90 days here,the 30 days seems to usually start after job signed off and invoice usually spends weeks in limbo between departments and somebody in accounts is usually on holidays or maternity leave. most domestic work gets payed within the month or on completion. we are rarely owed less than 20k, at moment owed about 60k some of it from 2013. couldnt survive on just domestic though and you can command higher rates doing commercial
