I've cut my arm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tom D]

Its funny, I was topping a cypress hedge on saturday and whilst i was wrestling with the 020 and the hedgers in the middle of it whilst balancing on an old topping cut, I thought If I an ever going to get cut with a saw this is how I'll do it. IMO its far more dangerous than a big dismantle.

 

Hope it heals nicely mate.

So, will you keep using the chainsaw one-handed after your accident? Just curious...

this time i didnt use it 1 handed!!!! the saw wasnt running and the chain break was on!!! the piece was only small as well. when i put the cut in i could snap it with 1 hand and swing it around with its own motion to where i wanted it to land, it just got caught on something:thumbdown:

Ah, I see what you're saying now. I'm on painkillers that make me a bit dizzy so I tend to speed read. Hope it heals well and don't give you any trouble.
