I find using a chainsaw or brushcutter really quite therapeutic after a hard week at work. But I always clad myself in full satety kit.

I will be out with my Professional 46cc and a lightweight 25cc chainainsaw this afternoon.

See what happens when an amateur gives training?

The proper instructions are...protect head (one without the wooden pole attached), hit nail with head (one with the wooden pole attached), avoid thumb (the one not attached to the hand holdng the wooden pole attached to the latter head), try to avoid hitting the former head. In case of a lack of success with hammer, buy a chainsaw minus safety gear and finish the job properly.

The three day training can be extended for those having difficulty or those who mock chainsaw safety.

Unfortunately, we have rather ruined the OP's attempt at selling his chainsaw!

Sorry

No worries, it's been quite amusing in places.
