Chainsaws

[TiroFijo]

I've just ordered a chainsaw which I intend to cut logs from tree trunks.
Does anyone own one? Any tips and/or advice on using them?
Gotta admit that a chainsaw has my upmost respect and they do fill me with a healthy fear of them.

Keep the saw sharp.

Don't cut logs on your own incase you have an accident.

[Pondlife]

Yup.

1) They drink oil (or mine does)

2) The log you're cutting is never as secure as you think it is.

Stop being such a scaredycat and get on with it!

Get lots of protective equipment.

No, don't!

They are doing a good deal on chainsaw and hockey mask bundle in some local shop apparently.

Diver's the best person to ask about power tool safety. Then do the opposite, you'll be fine.

Angle-grinders are more fun than chainsaws.

Never cut overhead
Never use the tip for cutting
Always think "if this kicks back where will it end up"
Keep it sharp (I use a Dremel)

Is that arm attached to anything?

Also when did your custom title change?

Get lots of protective equipment.

Does it make much difference with a chainsaw?
