Rent Tools for Economy, But Know the Safety Guidelines: Chainsaw ...

Last updated 1 day 8 hours ago

Removing fallen trees on your property doesn?t have to be a hassle. Visit a tool rental company to get a chainsaw for the day, then remove the limbs and cut up the trunk into manageable pieces that you can easily be hauled away. Chainsaw use is safe, but as with any power tool, you should always follow proper safety procedures to avoid injury. Take these precautions when using a chainsaw:

Wear Safety Equipment You must protect your ears, eyes, limbs, and fingers when using a chainsaw. The best headgear is a special hardhat with a built-in face shield and hearing protection; but at the bare minimum, you need safety goggles and noise-reducing earmuffs. Wear close-fitting long pants and shirtsleeves, heavy-duty steel-toed work boots, and safety gloves as well. You can also obtain special chaps to protect your legs from injury.

Maintain a Proper Grip Use both hands to start the chainsaw, as per the manual. Grip the front handle firmly with all your fingers and your thumb when making cuts. Avoid walking around with the saw running, but if you must, grip the front handle and hold it at your side, with the bar clear of your body. If you must suddenly stop in the middle of a cut for any reason, keep a good grip on the front handle until the saw fully shuts down.

Avoid the Kickback Zone You can make upward cuts with the top edge of the saw as long as you move slowly and carefully. But you should never attempt to cut with the top half of the tip. This spot is called the ?kickback zone,? because if it contacts wood or another surface while the chain is running, it will cause the saw to kick dangerously back towards the operator.
