I know your problems ...
(Helpful? Not? Please vote, so I know someone is reading these :^) First of all, this is *not* a professional grade tool. It is neither as powerful nor as rugged as the truly industrial-strength brands. It's basically a Poulan Weedeater (think Wal-Mart) with a saw attachment (think Lowes/HD). Professional grade tools come from Outdoor Power and your local saw shop or your local mower shop. This is for you and me to use a few times per year, so's we don't fall off a ladder with our regular chain saws, not for tree-trimmers who would use it every day. Secondly, you MUST keep your saw sharp, and you MUST know how to execute cuts to keep from binding your saw. It's this simple. No amount of complaining or money spent on more expensive models will save you from yourself. For this, I am very sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Now, here's the good news ... there are websites out there that will show you the way to make the most common cuts. How to under cut...

Gas powered pole pruner
I bought this item new. The engine would not start until I used a shot of starting ether in the air intake. After that it ran fine. The saw end runs OK, but the chain really needs to be a bit longer and I sure wish the head would articulate. It is really easy to get the cutting head pinched by a branch that is at or near the design limit. It cuts, but not quickly - it just doesn't have quite enough power. They include a plastic cap to go over the attachment end that allows you to hang it up, but they only give you one of them (and it comes with two attachments). I thought they were joking, but they give you a plastic bag style sleeve to cover the chain when not in use. I am still laughing about that one. There is no easy way to store the engine end of the machine and no dust cover for the end of the shaft. The engine housing is plastic and it is quite brittle, i.e. it doesn't take much to crack it. Getting parts is proving to be difficult and local stores do not carry the optional...

Burglars Strike At Harpenden Golf Club And Steal Power Tools
07.02.12 @ 1:39 pm | No Comments

Mower

POWER tools were stolen from a Harpenden golf club after the greenkeeper's shed was broken into.

Between 1.15pm and 1.20pm on Tuesday, October 25, five items were stolen from Alwickbury Park Golf Club in Piggottshill Lane.

Police believe a car, with three men inside, was driven to the shed before two went inside to take the tools, while a third man waited in the car.

A member of staff, who heard them, was threatened after appraoching the men - who made off in the direction of Wheathampstead Road.

Items stolen were: a Stihl pole saw, a Kawasaki strimmer, a Stihl hedge trimmer, a Stihl chainsaw and a Stihl leaf blower.

One of the suspects who went into the shed is described as a white man, aged about 25.

The other was aged about 18 with slightly tanned skin and possibly of Asian appearance. He was wearing a red hoody with a white pattern or writing on the front.

PC Pippa Child said: “I would like to appeal to anyone who was in the area at the time and saw three men acting suspiciously in a car or around the golf club to contact me as soon as possible.
