one handed chainsaw usage

[Matt Butler]

is this an acceptable work position, thoughts plz

[David Goss]

To me yes if it was the only way to reach it. But i would have been more tempted to use a silky, with a branch so small, or even a silky pole saw and you could have reached it even easier.

Ways and means to get around it mate, dont think i would even have taken chainsaw up that tree to be honest.

forthed! other hands out the way and hes reaching out, cant see the problem myself.

Should a saw be used above shoulder hight????

[Steve Bullman]

the alternative is you could go further out on the spindly branch so you can cut 2 handed......result, the saw will be likely nearer to you, and the chance of the branch breaking whilst you're cutting increases.

 

It would have made more sense to use a silky though strictly speaking
