Tips On How To Use Your Chainsaw Safely
Author : Steve Garrett
The use of chainsaws is becoming more popular due to the resurgence of the wood heater and the drop in price of the base model chainsaws. There is a huge range of chainsaws on offer, so there is one for almost every need. However, what ever your requirements, there are certain safety requirements that should be followed, and necessary safety gear that should be used to prevent serious injury. I will go over a few safety procedures and list the equipment you need for safe use of your chainsaw.
Firstly, make sure that you chainsaw is regularly serviced and maintained by a professional. This is important to ensure that the chain is always sharp, motor performs up to requirements and the chain is always tight on the bar. A sloppy and blunt chain is potentially very dangerous.
All safety features must be functioning. For example, most chainsaws have a handle on top that acts as an emergency stop. Check that this operates as it should.
Before using the chainsaw, check the chain oil, the chain, and give it a general check over.
When using a chainsaw, make sure that someone else is aware where you are, and keeps checking on you, just in case you have an accident. Check the area where you are cutting and make sure all people and animals are clear of the area. Also ensure the wood you are cutting is not going to move. The wood must be secure before you make a cut, or it could become a projectile.
You need a range of safety equipment to protect yourself and prevent serious injury. You will need safety goggles to protect your eyes. Chainsaws have a habit of spraying chips all over the place, so protecting your eyes is paramount.
Protect your hands with gloves, as your hands are right on the front line, and can cop a hammering from wood chips.
Chaps are important to protect your legs not only from wood chips, but if you get Kevlar belted pants, you get some protection from a wayward chainsaw blade.
Another important piece of protective equipment are ear muffs. The amount of noise generated by chainsaws is extraordinary, and you may need to use the chainsaw for extended periods of time, which could result in temporary deafness and could potentially have long term implications for your hearing.
So, these are a few of the things you need to consider, and some of the safety equipment you need when using a chainsaw, to ensure you get the job done safely.
