Again with the undeveloped fungi:thumbdown: seems to be a habit of mine that. Oh well never mind its all in my very slow learning curve. Too many fungi and not enough memory! Why are you jealous Hama? is it a rare one?

use your side strop if and when possible for balance, either on the branch you are walking on or another close. Mostly its just finding a good position to advance and if you are not feeling balanced then try the other side of the branch or put the rope on the other side of your body etc. Some branch walks can be difficult but its just a matter of getting your balance and a little confidence. Your anchor point should also be as high as you can get it.

gleophyllum trabeum? or sepiarium? i think trabeum looks about right but what do i know?
-
i use slings as well if i dont think i can keep a hold of the branch but only while cutting with silky.

Ident books at the ready? ok then here is the next one, found it on a park bench...

I recently got a 346xp and its an eye opener of a wee saw, plenty power for such a small saw.

:lol:

As already said Husky or Stihl are both probably the best makers of chainsaws on the market. As for advice on how to use one then honestly you should consider going on CS30 course. Just the thought of someone picking up a chainsaw without any prior training scares the hell out of me and these machines imo should not be sold to anyone without some proof of competency in their use.

dont want much do you:001_rolleyes: Problem is not knowing where to start with all those questions, and then once started, not having enough time in the day to answer it all. I hope you get plenty info but i think 1 question at a time would suffice:dontknow: -
Bravo Giorgio sempre fai bel lavoro nice work as always Giorgio

Chainsaw beginner - can't get Husq going after refuel
David Goss replied to ATC1983's topic in Chainsaws
whats wrong with tesco petrol? i use it all the time and dont have any problems with my saws. I just stick 5litres in the combi can in the morning and the rest in the car and i spend less than going to any of the big name petrol stations that imo sell the same stuff. -
haha i should have known better, i was expecting something completely different:001_rolleyes:
-
I will need to do my best to try and get back there again within the next couple of weeks but i cant see it happening to be honest:thumbdown: Thanks again for the idents Gerrit I have a few more but i will need to pace them out or i will run out quickly with you around
-
ah thats a shame because i cant see me being back there anytime in the near future. Oh well just have to move on to the next...

Well it should IMO. Then maybe people wouldnt make silly mistakes like this. And looking at the bigger picture, If the courses were more informative and harder to pass then maybe people wouldnt have so many accidents which in turn would stop the HSE adding more rules and regs i.e. paperwork, to keep the robots programmed. -
Ok here is the next instalment (bit late i know) went for a nice walk yesterday and snapped a few fingi on the way:thumbup1:

I dont like the disk cutters because they blunt easy and start shredding instead of chipping after a day or 2 use. The spouts clog more than any other chipper i have ever used. The feed rollers just dont seem to have the pulling power or grip of many other makes. The parts wear or break faster than other makes. I just dont like them as much as say timberwolf or jensen to name a couple but i will use them if thats whats on the job. Generally i will just drag branches to the chipper for someone else to swear at it every 2 minutes.

I think that may even be now! I agree with huck though you guys need to give him a break if he doesnt know what he is doing then he doesnt know, full stop. However having done CS30 i am surprised he doesnt know, how on earth did you pass it if you dont even know to put petrol/2 stroke mix in the petrol tank???? Just do what has been mentioned with cleaning it out and try again from the start. 5 litres of unleaded PETROL (not diesel or chain oil) should be mixed with 100ml of 2 stroke oil and it is important you get the mix correct. This goes in the petrol tank of the saw and then your chain oil (unmixed) goes in the other tank. Please be careful and if you still cant get it to start then send it to spud before you really break it! -
yea first the gob, then 2 verticals and then join the 2 verticals at the bottom with a horizontal bore cut (i also found taking an extra bit off the bottom helps), then you have to do 2 back cuts either side of the "fin" as i call it. Basically just for getting the bench to sit higher when bench felling and the fin just stops the tree coming off the stump. Blame Harry it was him that put it in my head and got me curious to try it. He tells too many stories No way i am doing that when on production anyway or i would lose a big chunk of wood and some extra minutes doing it. You dont pay enough for me to waste time
-
Exactly what i thought:thumbup1: the hardest bit i would say is doing the back cuts without cutting the fin (just made that name up, i dont know what you call it) the rest is just a normal gob and the slot and fin coming down from there. A cutter told me about it the other day about when bench felling as a way to have the bench a bit higher, so i thought i would try it.
-
yea it was a lot of extra cutting and actually quite difficult to get right, probably wont use it much in the future but its always in the armoury just in case
