My New Chainsaw Needs A License As It Is A 'Weapon' - is that correct?

[dsfbrit]

I bought myself a new small 12" chainsaw from Homeworks in Pattaya last month. It was working great and then it started leaking fuel.

I took it back to Homeworks within the 21 days warranty period (the Homeworks warranty period - there is also a one year warranty).

The leak can be fixed, but they said to exchange the saw would not be possible as from this month all chainsaw owners have to have a license as the saw is considered to be a dangerous weapon similar to a gun.

I did not argue with the guy in Homeworks, I just decided to come away and find out if this is true.

I have another 5 days left on the Homeworks warranty anyway, so have plenty of time to find out the truth of this story.

So any help would be appreciated.

Hey mods, I was planning on breaking the 'rules' here and posting in the farming and Pattaya forum as well - is that OK - as I only have 5 days to sort this out and I it is a bit of an odd one isn't it???

Thanks for your help.
