All Chainsaws Require Protective Gear
Chainsaws are relatively benign when the motor isn’t running. Once that blade starts spinning, however, danger can come at you from any direction. There is plenty of safety gear available to counter most of the dangers you face. There is a type of gear for every part of your body, not matter what brand of chainsaw you have or how big your blade. Safety gear is a very important part of running a chainsaw.
Risk of injury comes from many sources. As you cut away at the tree, the load can shift, causing branches to bounce up and hit you in the face. Chainsaws are very loud and have to be held close, creating the potential of hearing loss. Use hearing protection and wear a black helmet on your head.
When you are on the ground and someone else is up in the tree, the value of the helmet increases. Branches, tools or other equipment can suddenly drop out of the tree, causing serious injury or maybe death. With the proper helmet on, though, the impact is spread out, leaving you with only a headache rather than permanent brain damage.
Say you own an Echo chainsaw. You might feel that you have to use Echo safety equipment. Well, you can, but you don’t have too. Any equipment from any manufacturer will work just as well with any saw on the market. Just because your saw says Stihl on it doesn’t mean your safety equipment has to.
Now that the head and ears are safely ensconced, let’s see what there is available to protect your eyes. You have two main choices-safety goggles or a visor. Or maybe you want both. It’s up to you. The visor attaches to the helmet and protects from flying wood chips, because properly sharpened saws do not spray sawdust. Besides, the large lattice on the visor protects the operator but affords excellent vision.
Now we are getting down to the ground. You still need some pants and some boots. The pants can be full-legged for professional use or just chaps for the home user. Buy a good pair of leather boots with steel toes and your ready to cut some wood!
I doesn’t make a difference what type of saw you prefer. You can use a McCulloch chainsaw with protective gear from Stihl. They will work just fine together and provide you with the same level of safety. Many areas actually require you to use the proper safety gear. Check with the authorities in your area and always obey the law!
