I know !! That is why I could not replace my Danarm with a
chainsaw of my choice !
The regs were not in place when I bought the Danarm,
or maybe they were but my vendor didnt bother at that time ! ?
Do you know when the prohibition on top handled saws came in ?

From my bad memory i think it was around '97, just after i finished my training. Yes it was due to the EU legislation coming to the UK.

Sorry, i thought you meant the saw itself, not the job you might tackle with it.
When you say that you had a specific use for your top handled saw, was that using it from a rope an harness?
