    Yes I know me! It was only the size of a cup. I should of been using a larger saw on smaller bits of wood. That's by the by now what's been done been done. Thanks

    Was a metal visor. Thanks for comments. If the timber was bigger it wouldn't of span. Cutting as fine! The timber wasn't stable so caused kick back! If the chain brake was working! I would of been ok. Thanks ashley

    Thanks for all your comment guys, it was a stihl ms290, I am silly to have used a dodgy saw as I own around 9 chainsaw.. In good working order! I should of used a 170 to chop. The small logs up with. The 290 had to much power forcing the timber to spin which resulted in kick back. The skin peeled right back in 3 places! No the best way to draw a close to a Friday eve! I'll post another picture in around 8 weeks to show the healing process! Big learning curve anyhow! At least I have a story to tell ah! I always wondered would a saw really cut me lol yes fresh is no comparison to wood. Speak soon ashley.

    Face guards are to stop saw dust and minor bits of wood! That's all! ;( they could be addressed though yes! If my chain brake wasn't broke it would of worked!
  5. ASH TREE SURGEON
    Yeah a minor part. Needed to order one. I can't believe what a fool I've been. It's the spring that holds the brake in place! So it's a major bit of the operation. I'm still alive. And hopefully the scaring will be minimal. Although I am hoping for a miracle
  6. ASH TREE SURGEON
    Think I might do that!!! Just the spring in the brake was broken. Wish I could turn back the hands. But can't cry over spilt milk can I. It's a couple of scares we are men, cheers ashley

    I was logging in front of me to be honest, it all happened that fast! Some power in those saws! We underestimate them at times! Well me at least! It's a good job it was a 290 and not an 880. However if I was logging timber it wouldn't of happened! It was the small logs spinning causing the saw to kickback
