Or go old Skool, Dig a trench, Burn a big fire in it, Chuck in loads of fresh wet greenery, grass etc. Chuck wood on top. More green stuff. Bury for 20-30 mins. Dig up. Wear gloves with wood! [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I have a mate who only uses farmertec/Chinese Parts in his stihl saws. Not precision engineering I'm afraid. Low compression in the pistons and cylinders. Constant problems and they don't last long either. Even things like plastic tubing splits and cracks. The metals are often unhardened or just soft. No uv resistance on the housing plastic either. Not to mention the safety features are just copies and might not work. Oh one last thing, go on YouTube and look up safety testing stihl copies. IMO absolute lethal rubbish.

My friends grandma won the lottery about twenty years ago. She had dementia and about a dozen grown kids. The family tore itself apart over a couple of years. There's an old saying, " when the gods wish to punish us, they grant our wishes". Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

All chainsaws can kick back Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
-
No worries mate. Firstly there is an inertial chain brake which should kick in without even touching the chain brake handle. Secondly the chain brake handle is spring loaded, so just pushing it gently snaps it on. When kickback happens it's blink of an eye usually. Good working position is imperative too.

I have described chainsaws in the past as, " mechanical light sabers." Very unforgiving. I know seasoned professionals with some freaky scars. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Have your dealer run a diagnostic maybe? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Just imagine kick back at 20 metres a second. Towards your face. Ditch the dinosaw and get a small stihl/husky. You can get one new from frjones online for just over £120. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Stephen fry is quoting David Attenborough. I'm genuinely curious what theophiles have to say on the matter. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I'm with David Attenborough when it comes to religion: "Any god that created a worm that burrows into the eyes and blinds innocent children... Is not a being of pure love and infinite mercy" Yeah I guess I don't "believe"??? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Thanks rob, I'll be getting an oiler. I've used these mills for about 18months now. Only problems I've had are nuts and bolts getting messed up from my ham fistedness. Great bits of kit. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I put up a 50' long 6' fence for a client a year ago. Job done well, went back two days later after a storm to finish the garden. The opposite fence was flattened, other neighbours fences flattened. Mine had leaned about 12". All the postcrete had fractured and crumbled. Took it all down, dug out broken postcrete. Rebuilt whole fence. Never using postcrete again. I said to client about putting tiny braces on the posts into the ground. "Not in my garden!". I felt responsible, but gutted. [emoji15] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

When is someone who actually uses a chainsaw daily, going to work with a design company? To design something new which might actually be useful and less dangerous? Might be waiting a while. [emoji15] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk -
Your oiler said out of stock on the site. I'll take one when/if you have in stock. Would it be usable on a 74" bar? Or would I need a larger reservoir? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Thanks rob, I have been eyeing one for my 48" bar, which does get a bit dry. The mill looks good too. You can actually read the numbers on yours. Hmmm [emoji106][emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

£18,488 per annum for a soldier. Less than £10 an hour to lay your life on the line? Because our governments, both Tory and labour think that's your worth??? £18,504 starting wage for civil servants. Hmmmm Who you all voting for? Party (a) doesn't give a sh** about you. or... Party (b) doesn't give a sh** about you. Great choices. [emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Maybe I'm missing something. Why would a 36" bar need an aux oiler? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
