there is nothing better than a brand new chain for a chainsaw..

i'm game.. i'm pretty sweet at chopping wood

 

But kickback can be a bitch

Like some guy I read about whose chainsaw kicked back, and hit him in the face :leaving:

I've got a nice little scar on my thigh... Went right through the saw pants.

chainsaws should be respected,i cut about 10 cords a year,never even came close to a accident,other than hangin trees up and binding the bar..
a good sharp chain keeps kick back to a minimum,,an ya should always be sure which way your saws gonna go if it does,,an make sure no body parts are there...

 

Not really. Saw pants are chaps filled with cotton. It gets caught in the teeth and bogs down the saw until it dies out. I just got a little scar on the surface, throw a tampon in, tape it up, didn't even take more than 15 minutes off work.

 

especially when the old chain has blood stains on it..
