Using top corner of bar safely

[SliverPicker]

It ain't the most stress-free way to run around the woods for sure.

Ever heard the sayings, keep your nose clean, or don't stick your nose where it don't belong? Heed the advise.

If you're gonna do it anyway, use a small saw to see what is going to happen. Something you can control when she decides to bite and try and tear your head off. Lots of things come natural or automatic with time, I still purposefully and conscientiously think about where my nose is all the time. That's a big surprise I don't like and am never ready for, this speed and force that is a shocker to say the least. That doesn't mean I never use it at times, but I put every safety in the book i can to keep my blood where it belongs.

Exactly.

Even a 362 can kick like rabid mule when the time is right.

I learned most of this stuff the hard way. One of my favorite saw misbehaviors is when the chain clogs with chips on a bore, and shoots the power head backwards at u'r nuts in a most disagreeable fashion

They'll do that when bucking too, especially the ones that sag quickly...

 

[treeslayer2003]

always be ready

Osha will be requiring the use of kevlar cups if they see this thread!

Um I think they do in some places... either way **** em, can't Nerf the world, people die young or get old... and still die...

I was thinking on this the other day, parents and adults are always winging about "you'll shoot yer eye out" blah blah, if that where really the case wouldn't there be a whole lot more folks running around with glass eyes or eye patches?

" Don't run with scissors. You'll fall and put your eye out!" Is what my grandma used to harp on continuously. All I ever heard when she got on that high horse was " blah blah blaaaaah." Turns out her cousin ran through the house with scissors sometime in the late 1930's. She fell and placed the tips of the scissors directly in to her left eye. I stood corrected! That happens often to me though.

OSHA won't and can't keep you safe. Just another bueracracy to vacuum up our hard earned tax dollars.

It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye.

Then its just a game of find the eye.

Sometimes I think it's too bad Darwin isn't better at his process.

The site I was on said it was

Doesn't look like a saw injury to me. I don't know what's imbedded in there, but the edges look way too clean for a chainsaw.

[HuskStihl]

Brush blade from a trimmer maybe?

 

[redoakneck]

Definitely something stuck in his face. Not a chain or bar
