I actually find that picture pretty depressing. Can you imagine the working conditions these guys have? Not even any ear defenders.

I agree, pretty sad sight. I suppose at least you won't get backache or kickback...

Really?

Well they seem to be avoiding the top quarter with the angles they're cutting, and the only reason they're not using the front handles that I can see is so they don't have to bend down.

 

I'm sure they've encountered kickback many times. Hm, maybe part of the cutting technique they've adopted (the Limp-wristed one handed cut) is their own response to it? Say, if you were to get a kick in that position, wouldn't the rear handle jerk downwards, flop out of your hand and hit the ground? Rather than using your right hand as a pivot and a 1-way ticket to your face?

 

I'll be quiet now..
