Yep, the bit of plastic were it goes onto is fecked. No spring though, just some sort of cable to stop the handle over stretching I think. In my quest for a parts diagram I came across this. Wtf! A 28inch bar? Sent from my C6903 using Arbtalk mobile app

How'd you like them? Few years ago you didn't seem keen, but flyer more time any different? I got a dcs3400 or 3410 which goes well for carving, but the top handle ones I hand only ever came out for climbing when my ms200 wasnt playing ball. Certainly ok, but not much zing.

Made a sledge today for some folk making a channel 4 documentary about the forbidden city in China, apparently the managed to shift a 300tonne bit of stone by sliding it on ice. They are doing a scaled down experiment and needed a sledge to carry a tonne around an ice rink in Sheffield. Made for a nice day. On pallet ready for shipping

Max rpm is 12.5k so wind the h out anticlockwise. I usually set it 500 -1000rpm below max. Don't hold the throttle open for too long, just raz it up see where it is and let it go down. YouTube is your friend, it certainly helped me.

Too right Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app

Dealer near me says the 555 and 545 huskies are same as pro models build wise but just detuned? Sounds whack to me. I buy and use lots of second hand Saws for arb work and carving, infact I have only had 3 new saws. Mostly if chosen carefully the second hand ones have been excellent, with the odd wind up. I do however enjoying fixing them, and have 2 of most saws so if one is down the other can still play. Honestly not sure I trust my newer saws not to break any more than the ones I've had and known and fixed over the years. Probably not saved huge amounts of money by the time I have found, gone and bought then fixed second hand saws. But I don't run a business where teams are off to work with my kit all day, usually just me and a couple groundies are most. Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app

I Have done a few hours with one of these. They are ok, but really not amazing. I have also used the 3400 which is next size up which is better. But the echo 360tes is a good deal better saw and probably similar price. I would look at that. How cheap can you get the makita? Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app
