Chainsaw safety
With the Echo chainsaw running, you are holding an extremely dangerous implement. You should remember this at all times. When the chain is turning at full throttle it passes each tooth through the wood at least 10 times per second. There are at least 60 teeth on the average chain. Whilst this has the desired effect of the tree,it would do considerable damage to your body.When holding a running Echo chainsaw, make sure you keep the chain brake engaged until you are ready to cut. When your actually cutting, ensure the chainsaw is running at full throttle. This will reduce the chances of the chainsaw binding or kicking back. The chainsaw should also never be allowed to touch the ground.
Avoid chainsaw kickback, follow the paramount rule: Do not allow the upper quadrant of the chainsaw nose to touch the wood or any other obstacle. If a tooth passing this fulcrum point suddenly encounters an obstacle, it can effectively stop the chain, passing all the motion of the chain into the body of the chainsaw, which recoils violently upward toward the operator. For this reason and because your hand may not be able to activate the chain break, it is a good idea to position your body so that, in the event of a kickback, the chainsaw can pass relatively harmlessly to the side of your body, not straight up at your head and neck, which is obviously extremely dangerous.
Wearing the correct protective clothing is also important when using a Echo chainsaw. Your head and face need particular protection, but by the same token, a chainsaw can do a great deal of damage to legs and arms if not properly under control. Face Screens, Hard hats, and ear protectors are all good ideas. An Arborist's helmet will combine these functions and make chainsaw use considerably safer. Also refrain from wearing baggy clothing which may risk being caught in the moving chainsaw.
The key point is always be aware and alert when using a Echo chainsaw. Following a few simple steps will make chain saw use much safer. You should always consult a professional before attempting anything you may consider to be unsafe or dangerous.
