Guys, I just wanted to comment on this thread. This discussion is exactly the reason I was so happy to find this web-site. I cut maybe 4 cords a year for personal use and friends and have been doing so for about 8-10years. My training has been all OJT and discussions with friends. I didn't focus on technique and safety equipment enough until I bounced my saw off of my leg about 7 years ago. After a trip to the hospital I finally got serious with safety equipment and reading and practicing techniques. Discussions and picture such as these are invaluable to me. I hope other casual cutters gain as much from this as I have. Thanks guys.
