Be honest now please

I don't use the saw much at work, but when I do, it's on my own logging up. But I always have a whistle and a bandage in my pocket

About 60% of my chainsaw work is done on my own, don't see the problem with it as long as you respect the saw but are confident at the same time if that makes sense.

 

It's all about common sense - on a wet, windy, slippy, miserable day like today there's no way I'd head out into the woods on my own, too much could go wrong! But going up the yard to cut some firewood on a nice dry sunny day, I don't have the slightest problem with.

Standard issue for building site operatives too... HSE says they can't stick dirty fingers in their mouths to wolf whistle at passing women anymore. The bandage is for when these new fangled feminists throw bricks back...

I always use it on my own as if someone else had hold of it with me they would be with the min 5m rule:confused1:

80% of my saw work is on my own, I always have my phone in my pocket.

You need to make sure you've got clean underwear and an overnight bag with pyjamas just in case of an accident.

ive used a saw many times alone, never off the ground though, but ive always had people about in the area i know off or not far from site, plus i always carry a first aid kit with me and its just ''feet'' from me when i work alone. 99% of me working alone is doing firewood and logging up though.

I have worked on my own many times and have respect for any machine and take all precautions that i can, but as a lot have said it isn't ideal but it has to be done.
