Chainsaws and Training
pinkrover57:
:oops: Just bought a old 20" Stihl, for chopping a few logs and occasional green lane use, not used a chainsaw for over 30 years. Will have to check out local training. Have been advised that for occasional use especially when laning Chain saw Chaps are more convienient and therefore more like to be used....any comments?.
Lee; I am looking for some PPE in fat B*****d size do you make it that big?

Thanks for the info and no offense taken. I wouldn't of asked if I was going to ignore sound advice!
I think ill sort a course out.
Lucy1978:
you thought about hiring one just when you need it?
get a decent saw, well sharpenend and the PPE, cost me about £50 for a long weekend when I did it last. The hire shops do like to see some evidence of training or that you know what you are doing first though.

Unfortunatley the weather is no help re hire. Its allways raining down here in cornwall so I want to have the kit so I can go out if its not chucking it down an blowing a gale! Whilst im no softy there are some issue of safety regard slipping and wavy trees!
Puls I am a tool fetishest and love piles and piles of shiny kit!

I have just left Husqvarna after 20 yrs and have also seen what can happen when using a saw.
I would recommend you take some training - and of course the purchase of a Husqvarna saw :D
