Default small chain saw

There are serious safety concerns to be considered with chain saw use. I do
not wish to be patronising, but I strongly recommend you consider your
personal ability to use a chainsaw safely before getting one, however small.
I was involved in giving safety filmshows to forestry workers in the use of
chainsaws, and some of the injuries shown were both frightening and
surprisingly easy to incur.




As i posted a couple of months ago, i was quite prepared to go on a day
course to learn how to use one simply.

However the courses I found on the Internet were for aborists and
involved learning to climb trees, where to prune, maintenance of heavy
power tools as well!!


They also cost umpteen amounts of money ..........

Nothing for using a small one to chop up pruned branches etc.
