  1. I have had nearly 20 years using saws mainly in the early days cutting soft wood on tonnage price, you nearly had to run with your saw runnining a tree out to make a good wage, also we did loads of rhododendron clearence for thr Forestry commision and Woodland trust. Twice over the twenty years i have cut either my boot or trousers...My trousers we were 5 miles in a forest cutting rhodo, if i hadnt had my chainsaw trousers on i would probably have been dead. I never took risks with saws but accidents do happen...all im sawing that HSE statstics for chainsaw accidents includes Joe public... not all joe public or diyers are idiots.
  2. Yes Joe public should not be allowed to use chainsaws without training..or buy them. Had a guy near me killed himself cutting a tree down in his garden last week, he bought the saw that day and had never used a saw before. Chainsaw are lethal in the wrong hands. Even just using them for logging..safety clothing must be worn, chainsaw boots & trousers. I will never ever use my saw without the safety gear on, ive had a few close ones with a saw, and my chainsaw trousers have saved me.
  3. Could try this guy , used him in the past he does an excellent job. MJM Forestry Land & vegetation clearance UK - Telephone: 01959 534765.
