[@lowellwhite8810]

You make me nervois.

[@ApexPressureWash]

@lowellwhite8810 that's the correct response to such activities

[@tedneitzel]

Got ma ear protection so I'm a safe! Love those slippers! Lmao!!

[@ApexPressureWash]

I'll make sure to wear level 4 plates next time lmao obviously my ppe is minimal for this video.

[@tedneitzel]

​@@ApexPressureWash having fell trees for 40 years in the PNW from experience it only takes once!!

[@michaelcollums4197]

Yes be very careful it is easy for the MS 291 with it's power to kick back and hit you in the face I saw a 28 year old who thought he could man handle the saw get hit in the face, he was lucky it almost cut his nose and bottom lip off it took many stitches and now because I am older I wear a forestry hard hat with the metal mesh visor and ear muffs. It only takes one time to hurt yourself. BE SAFE

[@ApexPressureWash]

Yea you guys are right, thanks

[@outdoorsnevada4138]

safety first for sure. My father was a logger and saw all kinds of accidents. They can happen to anyone and it happens quickly. Being slower with safe practices so that you can go home the same way you went out is ideal

[@nagygabor2591]

Kickback

[@outdoorsnevada4138]

Get some chaps, boots, helmet with face shield, and some gloves. Also recommend getting some wedges. SAFETY FIRST!

[@ApexPressureWash]

@outdoorsnevada4138 yes that is best practice

[@davidbrooks6455]

You are dangerous with that. You really should be smarter when operating that saw.

[@ApexPressureWash]

Yes I agree

[@xxch4osxx]

Should be wearing at least a pair of chainsaw rated chaps and safety boots.

[@elijahcaron6463]

Bruh went out and bought a chainsaw and axe for the first time on the same day🤣🤦‍♂️

[@ApexPressureWash]

Got the job done tho

[@qwertyuiopforkspoon]

Nothing like a quality pair of Chinese safety boots 👏🏼

[@ApexPressureWash]

You ever seen steel toed shoes? lmao

[@qwertyuiopforkspoon]

@@ApexPressureWash Not joggers mate, no i havent

[@ApexPressureWash]

@qwertyuiopforkspoon I have another pair of shoes that are steel toed and yes you can Sprint in those things

[@SirLionofBiff]

The lack of safety gear is alarming. Chaps/boots/helmet ... don't become a statistic. How the heck a chip didn't get in this guy's eye is beyond comprehension....

[@ApexPressureWash]

Yes I agree with you. I'm not worried about a chip I'm worried about that chain. I do have safety glasses and ear pro, but not chaps...not yet.

[@jamesedwards6269]

@@ApexPressureWashchaps are cheap compared to stitches or bleeding out. A hard hat or helmet is cheaper than a brain bleed. Pick up a wedge or two, if that tree set back on you, your bar would have been pinched and stuck. Look up when you’re cutting for hangers or dead limbs that can fall on you. That said you got it on the ground no one got hurt or anything broke. That’s a big ass tree to be messing with and you got it down. Good job.

[@coreyherman3968]

Heyyy. I thought i was the only one who uses a saw in sandals. Nice!!

[@ApexPressureWash]

@coreyherman3968 sandals? Lmao fuckin where? I see closed toe shoes that aren't going to slip like sandals. You just have to have adequate situational awareness to not let something stupid happen.

[@coreyherman3968]

@@ApexPressureWash sandals... shoes... Won't make any difference whatsoever when that blade arks at your foot buddy. Don't worry though. They got special boot makers for u when u "walk" down that path

[@ApexPressureWash]

@coreyherman3968 I'm aware of the correct PPE that is supposed to be equipped when using a chainsaw. While it is technically safer to do this in shoes and not sandals for the vast stability differences, I am also aware that it can slice through both in the blink of an eye. PPE should be worn at all times but I can guarantee you many people don't take the time and effort. I've learned since that video, thank you for your input.

[@coreyherman3968]

@@ApexPressureWash there's always a right way and wrong way. It don't matter if what u do is slightly less wrong. I do operate a saw in sandals or shoes but I would never do this cutting down a tree. Your video is similar to the guy cranking on a saw with the bar between his legs

[@ApexPressureWash]

@coreyherman3968 "Similar" is a very strong use of the word. Look I get it you can get hurt numerous ways with this even besides the saw, the tree, falling limbs, etc, but attempting to start a saw with the bar in-between your legs is a level of ignorance far past what I have displayed. So yeah I'm picking up what you're putting down but I'm not an idiot.

[@michaelmalone9323]

You ain’t gonna make it to old age I’m afraid.

[@ApexPressureWash]

I've since implemented the use of PPE and resurched safe operation techniques. While I don't know when the good lord will take me home you can call this "quitting while I'm ahead"

[@joepadilla8802]

Ms 291 fixed spark plug in case it pop's out

[@browndawg5872]

i have one of these that my son in law gave me and the damn thing will not oil the chain. i have put 2 new oil pumps on it with new worm gear at the same time and it might work for 5 minutes or less, any body out have this problem, please let know how to fix it. i have in my arsenal a stihl 066, 460, 038 mag 2. so working on saws is not a problem.

[@ApexPressureWash]

Channels in the bar might be clogged

[@browndawg5872]

not cleaning out chain channels is pretty elementry. But thank you

[@jihazkomfort]

nothing. experience will come with time. you just look at the video review of professionals at least.

[@ApexPressureWash]

I do, especially about climbing

[@danielpadgett2831]

Nice shoes 😂

[@anneroberts15]

I cannot understand anyone doing this without safety gear

[@outdoorsnevada4138]

Improper training and not seeing what a chainsaw will do to you without it.

[@adrianstefan23]

👍👍👍👍

[@MikyBianchi]

my god,why you don't set the cut a little higher from the ground ?? 🤮this is a very professional behavior to cut a tree 😂

[@ApexPressureWash]

I'm not a professional arborist, don't critique in that way with those little gay ass emojis. lol tell me how it can be done better.

[@MikyBianchi]

you shall cut so close as possible to the ground ,just avoiding earth or dirt,have a look how cut is done by harvester and you make a nice job.👍😜@@ApexPressureWash
