 +  * **09/06/2019** Found tool in an unusable state. Blade tracking was completely out, blade falling off back of wheels. Guide bearings were also mis-adjusted - blade was being forced into them and making a very angry noise when pulled through by hand. Spent 45 minutes re-adjusting the blade tracking to get the blade running true again, re-adjusted blade tension and guide bearings. //Alfie// 
 +  * **07/12/2019** Found the blade blunt. Cameron replaced it with a new one. //Vytas//
 +  * **18/06/2022** Fitted a new blade as the old one was blunt. //Mike//
