fight with a chainsaw.

[weisyboy]

got into a bit of a scuffle with the chainsaw this morning.

i was making a few cuts into the end of a log (length ways) and i was then gunna dock teh end off resulting in some chocks for teh mill. did one lot but didnt even get the first cut done on the second set when the saw kicked back my had sliped off the top handle and went straight into the chain.

i immediately clinched my fist to stop the bleeding and put the saw down.

thaught to myself "this is gunna be bad" walked over to the ute fist still clinched blood dripping between my fingers. got the pathetic excuse for a first aid kit out. nothing in it but band-aids and an eye patch.

decided to unclench my fist and check out the damage. it was surprisingly good. a bit of shreded skin on the outside of my thumb, took most of the top layer with a few deeper cuts, nothing 6 or 7 band-aids couldn't fix.

none the less i got teh chemist to make me up a decent first aid kit at lunch time. with bandages and decent dressings in it.

[mic-d]

sh*t mate, that was lucky. Had a tetanus shot lately? Hope you're back to it soon.

Cheers

iv had 3 shots in the last 4 years.

didnt stop me from working iv got orders to fill. id have to lose a leg to stop now.

might go down tomorrow and get a stitch in one of the cuts if i get time.

[Travis Edwards]

seriously Carl you and powertools should never be allowed to mix. You should have learnt from the incident a few months ago with the file in the foot, and all the other incidents.

Sure it was handle of the chainsaw your hand slipped off of?...lol:D

Just kidding mate, hope you aren't too badly damaged and it heals quickly. lemme guess it was that husqvarna that hates ya so bad that bit ya.

[artme]

Be bloody careful mate! too soon for the forum to give you up to that great mill in the sky!:p

Tomorrow will be too late to stitch it mate the necrotic tissue would have formed by then and it will not take a stitch. I usually carry a needle and thread in my glovebox so as long as i have one hand left I can stitch myself up. Ask your chemist about some decent wound stitching needles 'cause the dressmakers ones are not much chop to try and push through flesh and carry a lighter to sterilise them with.:2tsup:

[weisyboy]

na mate only the little 026AV about 30 mins after it did this it blew the engine gasket.:((

iv had a bad run with the chainsaws only one of the 6 is running properly:((

eewwww. :faint:

[dai sensei]

I am surprised you slipped off the top handle, but the chain stop guard didn't stop your hand. Let me guess, no gloves either :rolleyes:

Be ever so carefull, chainsaws are so unforgiving, and we don't want to lose you mate :no:.

Hope it heals fast.

i dont wrap my thumb under the handle as i have to twist my hand since they reattached that finger the muscles are a bit short.

:Bi there is no chain break on teh 026AV anymore.

[Travis Edwards]

Honestly I have only ever cut myself with a chainsaw once, It was one of them electric buggers and it had run the chain off between the bar and the body of the saw (don't ask me how it has me astonished to this day!" and me being me decided that I would pull the chain backwards by hand (done it a thousand times when sharpening and inspecting etc.) slipped and tore some BIG chunks out, needless to say I only roll it forwards now. This said I have seen some very nasty wounds inflicted on people, many of them amateurs but also some pros who use them a lot. Makes me think I should buy some chaps and maybe some steel cap boots now, maybe a face mask as well, and stop cutting firewood in shorts and thongs...lol (just joking about the thongs and shorts!!!)

[weisyboy]

normaly its teh next day when i get down to teh docs for stiches cos im out in the middle of no ware cutting. they just scrape/recut either side of the wound and stitch it back up.

this is teh second chainsaw inflicted injury i have had. the last time i sliced my knee down to the cap.

by the time you put on all the safety gear your flat out walking let alone using a chainsaw.

thats is nothing wrong with shorts and thongs so long as the shorts are cut off jeans, the thongs don't match and your wearing a flany with teh sleves cut off and no buttons.

Sounds like you need me to intervene and take all them sharp things off your hands Carl:doh:..... its alright you can thank me for saving your life later....rotfl:D

[Calm]

Carl you should put the chain break on that would save your hand slipping off. it is also good to be able to put the break on when you are moving around ..

- you know i would never use one in thongs and shorts :no::no: or without chaps, boots, SAFETY glasses, gloves, earmuffs, long sleeves, hat :oo::oo:

























and my hand on it:D:D

cheers

[Travis Edwards]

Ya forgot the sunscreen Dave.... or was that vaseline?:oo:

[weisyboy]

we lent it to someone and it didnt come back, we had to go dig it out from under a log.:((

[Woody60]

Careful Carl we don't want to lose you

[Sigidi]

Sheese Carl, bloody look after yourself will ya!!!:o

[johnnyroberts]

For a smart bloke (and you are) that was a dumb thing to do. It is the very reason chainbreaks were brought in and one's without were outlawed. I recon you were lucky not to loose your hand. Be a bit hard to fill orders then, Glad you are okay cheers

[Woody60]

Carl
You said there would be pics??????

[Big Splinter]

Lucky, Very Lucky! :doh:

Keep your hands and fingers, you'll need them to get the other 5 chainsaws working.:D

Glad it was not too bad.

Cheers

I have seen full rebuild kits for the 034 which will make them into an 036 for prices varying between 80 and 200 dollars, they have the piston, jug, conrod, and all the gaskets etc. to make it work, can also get cranks etc. pretty cheap. I will send you some details on a mob I have dealt with.:2tsup: as long as the old 034 is physically sound externally it can be fixed

What the vaseline???

[weisyboy]

no the 026

if you could send that info that would be great.

its sitting there all thats rong is the housing gasket is gone (they were a solid cast aluminium housing in 2 halves so bar oil leakis into sump and fuel gets into bar oil. also it cant build up pressure in the sump as it blows out.

this caused the scoring i belive.

that would be the one. but im not sure witch that is is it the one for an 036 or 034.:?

[Travis Edwards]

It fits both they are a generic (not genuine stihl) part. The only real difference between the 034 and the 036 was that the 034 had a 46 mm piston and bore and the 036 was 48 mm. There was a couple of minor casting differences but the generic parts will fit either, there are some other ones that require some minor work to be done on the crankcase of an 034 that will fit both also, The gasket you were talking about I have seen on ebay for about a dollar US:2tsup: the mob I was reffering to was named "garden hire spares" on fleabay they were poms and were about half the price of that listing you posted
