I've bought a chainsaw - now what do I do?

Kevin from Tawa

To all those budding weekend warriors, who have finally decided that
they are sick of paying those ridiculous power bills during winter to keep warm, and instead have gone out and bought a chainsaw and are now ready to cut up anything in sight to burn on their open fire or in their wood burner - congratulations! You have just taken the first step towards self sufficency. But now what? You vaughley recall the dealer at the chainsaw store telling you about the features of your new purchase and how to use it but to be honest you were so keen to get home and try out your new toy that what was said went in one ear and out the other. HELP !!!
Don't worry help is at hand. Harbour City Tree Care are offering a 2 hour
