I used it today......I'm tired and can't move any limbs anymore, I'm drinking vin rouge in the hope it eases the pain Hi JD have you used it since ?I would like to know of your experience. My only annoyance is when using the hedge trimmer on a vertical angle my belly manages to turn the switch off on the handle, however, if I hear the slight drop in power I can normally managed to switch it back on before it stops.

Only used it the once so far, with the supplied 3 point blade, seemed to do the trick, but I don't think I have found the most comfortable position for it on the harness.........yet........will take it to France in 3 weeks

I feel I always have the option to throw the machine if anything goes wrong but that is just me, it is only 4 years ago that I bought a chainsaw helmet and I have been using a chainsaw since I was 14 !

It would be too heavy for me without the harness after a minute or so...........I know what you mean about the chainsaw, thinking of a helmet also, especially when i take it to France next month to get some firewood

There's nothing tough and manly about getting wood in your eye or an unnecessary head injury. Plus, if the motor is anything like as loud as mine you'll appreciate attached ear defenders. I was very pleased with this from Amazon: OREGON Yukon Chainsaw Safety Helmet with Protective Ear Muff and Mesh Visor (562412) , Black amzn.eu/d/7FhOQ2o
