Top-handled chainsaws: appropriate use and management

[Mick Dempsey]

I didn’t see much between them, you could pull the baffle out of the 020 for an instant tune.

 

Anyway (more to the point) both were capable of cutting an artery quick sticks.

Do not forget top handled saws uses in fencing etc, cutting off top of fencing posts deer fence height much safer using top handled saw on ground as opposed to ground saws

As a ground based saw user, I can't understand why anyone would use one.

Well naturally, because you have no perspective from the other side.

As an aerial based saw user, I can't understand why anyone wouldn't use one.

Not if you want your insurance company to pay out if it goes wrong.

Bet that made your eyes water, lucky it didn't hit the main artery!

Didn't hurt too bad,  came down from the tree, my lad put a dressing on it. We chipped up, me dragging branches to him one handed. Stacked the timber, me mostly one handed, but could use cut arm a bit. Cleaned drive, packed up gear, made apologies to customer. Drove mog home, put gear way, stoked boiler with logs.

 

Then got changed and Mrs drove me to hospital.

 

As I walked from the car to A&E the adrenalin must have been wearing off, I got very cold and my teeth began to chatter.

That looks sore. What dressing did you use to stop the bleeding? I carry Israeli bandage, fortunately I've never had to use it in anger.
