This is a brilliant article Henri. Thanks for taking the time to put this together.
I tend to wear very lightweight breathable gloves but with very ‘grippy’ rubberised grips.
Hi John, I have a phobia over where a snapped chain will lash out so always try to position my body and head some way to the left of the line of cut (right-handed - come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a left-handed saw) but think I’ll invest in a proper helmet as it’d be easier than safety glasses and ear-defenders that always seem to get in each others way.
Have to confess that I haven’t worn my Husky trousers since I had to cut some wood in them when it was 40C and the shorts I had on underneath could be wrung out. I bought these for my Dad and he passed them back when no longer did any cutting so I do feel morally obliged to put them to us.
It’s easier to resolve a bit of sweat than have to re-grow a leg.
