small chain saw

In article , Bill Grey writes 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. -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk I can see there would be a problem with a full 9 yards course, not really necessary for us gardeners. A basic "how to use" and safety course would be fine. Bill The agricultural training board used to do a very good two day course. First day on maintenance and safety, second day ctting down trees and cutting them up. Jonathan That's Health and Safety at work - think insurance claims and it all makes sense. We are not talking agricultural tree felling in this thread. Bill |
