Is it a 2 part mount or 1 solid part that joins the handle to the body? Looks like 2 parts now, so its either 2 parts or melted in half haha! 

Hi all,

anyone had a 200T handle AV mount melt / dissolve on them?

just wondering if the oil has melted the AV mount as its right under the oil filler

ta! 

In what sense / way?

Oooh ... a bit beyond my skill level with the saw. Never attempted doin grooves down the length with a chainsaw.

Doesnt need a grove the whole length, just a nose tap where the clip goes

the reason to not work is simple to me........u cant stop cross contamination to either one of your staff or yourself..  u could pick it up from a gatepost, side of a tree whatever, the virus can live for up to 72hrs, and u could pass it onto the next job u go to....or onto your workmates or take home with you to your family.

 

We are on call for emergency tree work for a client.......which we will do if necessary.....but it will only if its dangerous to the public at large.

 

Keep safe guys...

These facts are all bang on the money and true. They are a concern of mine, and i think should be everyones BUT the virus is here now ( 1 month in) so lets not work and be safe, fair point! But it will still be here in 3-6 months time, will your concerns still stop you working then? If ud be willing to go back in 3-6 months , why not go back now? Or may be more under control, but some fucker will still cough n open a door handle / gate post / delivery

But its down to your risk assessment, if you cant work within the regs then yes you should not work

I still stick to what I have said from the start.
It isn't just a case of social distancing, what about cross contamination ?, and I wonder how many of you working truly understand how to control it, it's not just driving to site in separate vehicles.
Put some glitter on your hands and see where it's got to after a few hours.
Let's say you have an accident, it's a dangerous business, good luck with getting treatment, and is it right to put the extra burden on the NHS at a time when doctors and nurses are dying trying to save people, that may be a member of my family at some point.
We have lost a considerable amount of money over the last 2 weeks we have been shut and I expect it to be a few more weeks as yet, but I know for us it's the right thing to do, I know we have lost customers to my competitors who have stayed open.
I really hope that businesses who carry on do get shamed on FB and the likes, is it really fair on those that have stayed shut ?
I would imagine at some point after this there will be a whole load of no win no fee firms taking business owners to court on behalf of staff who caught it, or by family if they died.

Why should those that are working be shamed? It CLEARLY says on gov docs which are available to you all that we should be working inline with distancing, only CERTAIN types of business are forced to close

Rustolen brush on is good, we use it on our contracts, looks like powdercoat when dry! Might be better than spray if suitible for your task?

Hollco, its called a bump cycle

Some brands do have a system that once the lights have been on red ( cos not detected any approaching cars) for a set period of time, the do a full cycle of greens before returning to all reds. In answer to someone elses question, in normal operation they should only be set to all reds for 3 mins max. Can be longer during the TM setup / coning out / in

What was the company called?

It is an urban myth, I did a few years in TM. When we were quiet I used to repair lights in the workshop. There are basically three settings, timers, sensors and all red, we used to leave them on timers on unmanned jobs because the motion sensors we known to play up and send each light head all red.

I owned a TM company a few years back, THIS is 100%, no more, no less, this is all the lights have

Or another thought, check the throttle cables not frayed, stretched, or jumped out of its runners ( if there are any on a 700) or tighten throttle by the screw on the trigger

600’s, back plates off, fan and flywheel off ( its sort of dog bone / peanut shaped not round) , ribbed casing off ( its square) and its the plastic cog in there, £10 to buy. Plus some red gasket sealant, takes him an hour, plus 24 hrs for sealant to dry, OR take it to a workshop if ur not to adventurous

Ok right oil, biggest cause out! May be unrelated but in the past month we have had to replace in 2 of our blowers the plastic cam that controls the valves. The small metal piece that comes out centrefugally ( if thats even a word) was getting stuck out which was knocking the exhaust valve at the same time as the other valve, causing low compression. Our fitter did it, i just get the reports, so im not sure the ins and outs of it all ( nor am i a fitter) but that solved low power issues

What colour / brand / type of 2 stroke oil are you using?

For £300 id just buy from them, least you know its the right genuine part, pretty important to get it right of something that is safety critical

Why not go onto fisher fixings website, surly it will have technical info for their systems?

No it is up to the supplier to deliver the goods.  If they employ a courier who leaves them in an appropriate place they will have to sort it.  If an arborist employs a subby who fells the wrong tree he won’t be able to say to the paying customer ‘Not my fault he is a subby’.

But the end recipient interfered with the contract between supplier and courier and agreed their own acceptable conditions

That is true BUT 

 

The safe place is in an outbuilding not dumped outside for all to see. 

 

No card left they was some one in the house and he did not knock.

 

The driver did the same 2 days before. 

 

This is not over. 

 

 

100% agreed on the DPD front, should knock THEN use safe place. NOT F R Jones fault thought. If you hadnt ticked the safe place box you would have been sound.

look at it another way, YOU sell an old saw on ebay, you post it off in good faith with DPD, the buyer sets tgeir account to “ safe place” and now blames you for the gear going missing, im sure you would say “ tuff mate”

Why should they help, you downloaded the app, you set the settings

The chute throat on the 230 is worlds away from the 150’s , a much better design, so much bigger but shorter, easier to get stuff in. If you wanna chip lots of big stuff the 280 is great BUT you can feed 7/8” through a 230 all day, on paper a 6” in life 8”. Although im sure TW would say its no good for the machine? Who knows, ours seems fine! 

Hi, i was talking to a guy about a tw230vtr he was selling, out of my price range but might suit you, we love the 230 tow so id imagine it pretty damn similar, low hours too!
