I had a friend who was a logger. He was felling a tree once and jerked the saw out of the cut to keep it from getting bound. When he tried to get away from the tree, he fell. He didn't realize that when he jerked the saw back, it went 3 inches up, behind the knee cap. The surgeon told him that if it had gone 3 inches horizontally instead, it would have taken his leg off. They are nothing to play with.

I asked my Dad when I was in my mid 40s to show me the 'how to' of chainsaws and he was just not into that at all. He said "if anything ever happened, your mother would never forgive me". So I got a used electric one and started getting the feel for them. I run saws all of the time now, from small Stihl MS 250 to larger ECHO CS 620 PW . This guy is a very safe operator. I never use the chain brake, but I remind myself all of the time, not to let my guard down and to0 be aware of the mechanical demon (the chainsaw).

Hi, Very good training video with your Dad. Safety first always This Spring I taught my daughter (She's about 5' 4") how to use a chain saw. Its an 18" STIHL lighter and more for trimming. Took her about a half hour to get used to handling it trimming up some downed trees on her place. Just like you, she was all in on using the saw, but it did wear her out. Thanks to Jade for the excellent camera work. 🙂
@hnorrstromАй бұрын
Usually people start with a 50cc saw with 13" or 15" bar here in Sweden. It's common for pros as well since it's enough for most trees around here, and usually there are dense forests with smaller trees and uneven terrain here. Sure sometimes I pull out my 372 and 20" just to use it but it's just really too heavy to carry around comfortably and often not needed unless it's really big trees. I can't even imagine my daughter at 5'3" ever using a larger saw effectively.. But I would love her to at least start any of mine.

That was a very good starter lesson! I would only add that it's super important to keep your weight, and the saw, over your feet. Try, without the saw running, moving around to see if you have balance control. You're a dancer, that saw is your partner, and you must have complete dominance over how everything moves. You were on flat ground but there is always something under foot that will try to upset your footing. You must keep your footing!!!

Excellent instructions from a professional logger. Something as dangerous as a powered chainsaw should never be taken for granted. Make a mistake and you are then relying on luck not to be injured. Good points about the bar length too. I've only been using a chainsaw as a homeowner so a 16" or 18" bar is all I've ever needed. I never thought about the dangers to one's feet with the longer bars. I highly respect professional loggers for their stamina and fortitude. As Emerald said, felling trees and woodcutting day in an day out is extremely demanding on one's physical abilities. Kudos to Ken for his persistent hard work and dedication, and for teaching his children in an instructive and thoughtful manner. I've heard of so many instances where chainsaw owners receive no instructions on safe operation, let alone how to safely and properly fell a tree. It's a job that can result in serious injury or death. A friend of mine used to write Workman's Comp insurance policies and he told me policies for loggers/tree cutters, etc, were the most expensive policies he would write due to the inherent dangers on the job.

LeDouche just has to disagree, because ... something something something.
