Chainsaw beginner - can't get Husq going after refuel
David Goss replied to ATC1983's topic in Chainsaws
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
-
whole heartedly agree there, greenmech chippers are way down the list for me. no likey at all:thumbdown:

I have a tree motion and also the skinniest legs on the planet and i dont have any problems with riding. ahem i mean the leg loops riding up:001_rolleyes:
-
No i was too embarrassed Its just the same as this except lying on the ground half way down the slope instead of in the groove. there was old stumps and bushes to stop them so i wasnt so fussed about it anyway.
-
First time i tried this cut today and it works a treat:thumbup1: i also tried it a second time just for the hell of it and messed it right up:blushing: i am glad this one (the important one, note house at bottom of banking) worked. The reason my second one didnt work was because it was a pole and it jumped right out the groove so i learned that with poles you need to be very careful at trusting this one. The one that worked was also a pole but luckily didnt jump as much as the second. I know this is common with bench felling but i have never used it and thought i would give it a go.... What you think, good method to keep a tree on the hinge or not?
-
thats an old one mate and also not true unfortunately.
-
go work elsewhere (for yourself) and tell your boss you will do his tree work if ever he gets any

Welcome and good luck -
About 38" thick oak done with 460 with 20" bar. Not the best but not bad either, even if i do say so myself:001_tt2: Reason the gob was so big was that it was a pole and not the whole tree, before i get a ribbing for it:sneaky2:
-
Good point but it looks like its only above 1 shoulder so he could technically get away with it on a 50:50 basis. Although i still wouldnt have used it in the first place.
-
To me yes if it was the only way to reach it. But i would have been more tempted to use a silky, with a branch so small, or even a silky pole saw and you could have reached it even easier. Ways and means to get around it mate, dont think i would even have taken chainsaw up that tree to be honest.

I would say you were more the top floor of a tenement building, very tall where all the heat gathers but you have a real dirty stair well :lol:
-
dont know, i use my other rope (yale xtc) when its wet to keep the imori in good nick:blushing: One day i will get caught out in a downpour when i am climbing with the imori and then i will tell you...
-
Looks can be deceiving it seems, woke up and it was raining, by the time i got in the car it was a good day and stayed like that:thumbup1: Maybe you shouldnt eat 400 sandwiches per day then so your body doesnt need to burn so much:001_rolleyes:
-
yea very tight. i tried counting them but got lost after 130 because they were so close together, my guess is 180 to 200 years old that lump. Shame it was to come down but i gave it a cuddle before i killed it:001_rolleyes:
