Re: Stihl FS560 Brushsaws
Been running a 560 for a year now and havent had any major problems had the bolt that holds the handle on snap twice but its a cheap any easy fix. Just curious if anyone out there running a 560 noticed a 10-15 minute drop in the length of time a tank will run for and what would cause this to happen ?

Re: E.I. job search questionnaire
My landlord found out I was having the same kind of trouble with EI, and told me she had got out of the same situation by seeing a employment agency. Apparently they can help you get EI off your back.
