An old friend spent a few days in the hospital this week. He is a forester and has worked around and with chainsaws for twenty five years. He was cutting a small maple straight through without doing a match cut or hinge cut. The tree pinched his saw and then split. The butt kicked up hit and him around his left eye, breaking bone and splitting skin. He will look rough for several weeks, but will recover.
We get negative comments about the videos we have demonstrating the cutting of small trees. Little trees may not squash you, but they can sure kick up and break your face. I think it is time to make a few more chainsaw videos. In the meantime, review those chainsaw safety rules on the left side of this page before you fire up your saw.
