Yep they fit. customer recently swapped to battery power whilst still using his old kombi attachments.

We dont leave bricks anymore, you can now sell those on ebay.

Worth mentioning that you will only get full power if using the bli200X or the bli300 batteries. The older bli200 will still work it just wont give the performance the saw is capable of.

Goes without saying.

I dont doubt you or the rep but it depends in what context he said it was a known issue. Is it a known problem as in they know it has happened as opposed to its a known issue in that it is a flaw/manufacturing problem causing the issue? If its the later then I would imagine recalls would have been on the cards as a bar and chain flying off due to a poor design is a very major problem.

Cheers for the kind words and order Joe. Its always a pleasure taking money from you

Dont worry, I have seen many a Friday machine while carrying out pre delivery inspections , I was just saying that it isnt a known issue i.e it isnt a common problem.

Not many suppliers stock class 2 as no one wants them as they are more expensive and heavier than class 1. I would just but some class 1 trousers tbh.

That is the early style clutch. As others have said it is prob the worm wheel, check pump is secure and in place. If you cant get the tool elsewhere let me know as we do stock them but dont have them on the web site.

Tbh it isnt a known issue. It is to do with tightening the bar nut too tight otherwise there would be a lot more of this going on, and there isnt. Ive seen a few 50/60cc stihl and husky machines with broken bar studs, there is only one reason why they have failed.

If it's for normal use and you want a pro chain for cheap just buy oregon. If it's for dirty work where you will just bin the chain once is blunt buy a cheap chinese one. You can't beat stihl or oregon for quality so for full time pro use doing bother looking elsewhere, well except for husky sp33g or the c85 which is just as good as the stihl/oregon equivalent. That's only from my personal experience and customer feedback.

Just buy stihl, husky or oregon depending on whatever is available for your machine. They cost nothing and last way, way longer than most people realise. It just depends on the spline size as to the fit.

We do. Let me know what you need as we only have a coupe of full reels in stock, it only takes a day to get more stock in.

Unfortunately we all have important and pressing issues to deal with ATM but I thought it might be of interest to give an update on how we will be operating in the up coming weeks. For now we will be focusing on online orders and we recommend that local customers use our online web site to purchase items rather than call in store. We do have plans to close the shop to walk in customer for not only staff safety but also to protect our customers as we have a small shop that would contravene the social distancing guidelines. Supplies from UK manufactures and UK divisions ie Husqvarna UK, Stihl UK is still quite healthy ATM. I would suggest you look at your consumables ie files, chains, oils etc and make sure you have enough supply as we dont know when or if we are going to be forced to close. This is going to be devastating for a lot of us, stay safe.

If you get stuck we will probably have them in stock.

It should be stamped on the bar but if it's the newish style 1/4 cs2511 it should be 60 drive links. You will either need the tiny sugihara chain or get a ms150 chain made up. Just make sure it is the .43 gauge as if it's a .50 it all be the oregon 91 px/Vxl chain. The last batch of cs2511 we received had reverted back to the.50 gauge for some reason!

Apologise for not including the 540I XP which the thread was about! The 540I XP should be available mid March, the T540I XP middle of Feb. There is some info about the top handle on the Husky UK site but nothing on the rear handle yet. Husqvarna Chainsaws T540i XP® WWW.HUSQVARNA.COM Husqvarna T540i XP is our most powerful battery-powered top-handle chainsaw, equivalent to a 40cc pro petrol saw... Here is a snippet of info from Husqvarna "Used with the newly released Husqvarna BLi200X (T540i XP®) or Husqvarna BLi300 (540I XP®) batteries, the new chainsaws have capabilities equivalent to professional 40cc class petrol chainsaws, making them ideal for tree removals and smaller felling tasks. With the completely redesigned and optimised system, power has been increased by more than 30 percent compared to previous Husqvarna battery chainsaws, opening up opportunities that previously have been exclusive to petrol chainsaws."

Nope it isnt a 340I there is a 540I XP and a top handle T540I XP, equivelant to a 40cc petrol! Husky were just keeping it under wraps until today. None in stock yet as we are still waiting and not many specs but a half decent pic of one.

That's the one but also check for wear on the con rods, holes in the blades and the main gear as that can wear where it drives the con rods. Don't grease the gears too much as it will slow and put too much strain on the motor. The gearbox doesn't get filed like petrol machines. Probably little and often on the grease, might be the key to longer life.

You can try replacing the bracket that covers the rod as if that wears it allows the rod to jump out (think its about £12-15) and the rods as the end of them that fits into the blades wears. Unfortunately ive found out a couple of times now that the hole in the blades wear and need replacing which isnt a cheap fix.

Could be worth looking at the new Edelrid foot cruiser Foot Cruiser right | Ascender | Edelrid WWW.EDELRID.DE Sophisticated foot ascender that enables efficient and low-fatigue climbing on the rope. A pre-installed but removable... (when the're available, March I think) You can knock the rope lock down with your foot to pop the rope out, also doing a version to fit their climbing spikes.

Equivalent power to a 35cc petrol which is why its now called the T535 (exact same saw as the T536)

Cut just as well as a drive link too MattyF is spot on, the parts are interchangeable.

Glad to hear it works well with your setup. I have to mention the following, I have spoken to Petzl and as earlier stated in the ASAP user instructions it should be used with a fall arrest harness, I will leave that as it is. In regards to comments about the absorber deploying, it takes a lot of force and it is a progressive action, ie it doesnt drop you two metres as soon as it gets to xx amount of force. It wasnt designed for tree work but then a lot of the devices we use werent either. Unfortunately the two rope climbing system is here to stay and I hope it goes no further otherwise it will be full body fall arrest harnesses, CE Certified climbing systems only and the level of IRATA training that would kill most arb firms off.

That is a very good point. Some info from petzl about attachment points below. https://m.petzl.com/GB/en/Professional/Choice-of-harness-attachment-point-for-the-ASAP I will ask one of the petzl tech people but it does look like full body harness only.
