[Nthkentman]

Close the effin kitchen doors and windows when logging up near the house.....

2 smoke is a bastid smell to get rid of indoors :-(

[Roger Mills]

You don't get any smoke with my electric saw.

[Nthkentman]

3 large fans (Kept from a business we had) on full with all the windows open for an hour and a pongy candle wiv smelly perfoooom was engaged

She came home and commented that the house smelled nice

Are the lightweight electric chainsaws considered much safer than the petrol monsters that regularly kill people, and require wearing a special blade-clogging suit ? My father in law had one and it seemed to stop instantly when the trigger was released, and he treated it like an electric hedge trimmer.

I cut some subfloor concrete with a petrol diamond cutter IN THE HOUSE.

*Cough* *splutter* (first the machine, then both of us). The smoke drifted under the floorboard of the ground floor. Wifey was not happy !

Then there was the time when I cut up a stubborn cast iron bath with an angle grinder. The carpet and wooden bannisters went rusty (due to the fine iron dust). Wifey was not happy.

I think they are safer, for that very reason, and because they are lighter to use. I still wear chainsaw trousers when using mine, though.

The difference is the "monster" part. Electric chainsaws just aren't big enough to cause several of the accident scenarios that are the worst with petrol chainsaws.

Use good quality _synthetic_ two stroke oil. Nothing like so much smell from it.

Good for highly tuned 1960s two strokes too. Saves a lot of decoking around narrow or bridged ports that used to clag up with soot.

Nuffin a regular soaking in Redex won't cure

Ditto... and I still have the thin line across my thigh where during my chainsaw test the bastid kicked back and chewed my £90 chainsaw troosers as it clogged the chain with ballistic thread. Examiner saw it, knocked off 5 points for me being a c*ut !

Still passed tho

Women are usually [1] easily to please/trick.

[1] Apart from Mothers. She still complains about the coving I put up with my Dad in their kitchen. A blob of coving adhesive landed in the toaster and it never worked again (set solid in the morning when she wanted toast).

It was her job to cover things up or move them. It was our job to fit the coving.
