The UK has lots of babes, cameras are useful.

If you really think that is the way things will go if they pass regulations, change jobs and become a paramedic. Likely lots of overtime. Then there is the morticians trade too. :D

It's good to encourage people to read the manual, but I'm presuming that even the ones that don't, as far as their being exposed to saw use in a professional environment, aren't getting hurt. If they were, it seems that one might want to take somewhat stronger measures, like a mandatory...

If you are talking about it in those terms, I can only think that your power to do anything in opposition as an individual, is rather limited, no matter how much you haw and paw about it. Unless you really go knock yourself out, join the Freemen and start a revolution or something, laws like...

I get your drift about you being opposed, but beyond that, your post is unclear. "Imitate the law"....? It's a discussion, that's all. Discussions help to arrive at reasoned conclusions. Being on or off your meds as you put it, I suggest to chill on that point.

Ask Stihl to donate a couple saws for the course. They would be nuts to refuse, especially given the stature of the instructor.

It's like that with just about any manual skill, frequency equals competence. I think the point is trying to get people to the stage that where they may still be lousy, at least it is that they are safe. How many things do you really need to know or follow to be relatively risk free with a...

Yes, it seems like a very good idea if you would enjoy it. I have taught a little chainsaw use to older people. Wondered how they did with it. Then the chance to later see one fellow's wood pile, nice bucked up and cleanly stacked. Anyone would be proud. :headbang:

That public official (water board) that was beating up his kid in the backyard because he couldn't catch a baseball, and the neighbor caught it on a vid. I'd force that piece of crap to stop. Back to chainsaws...:)

I know in my case many years ago, I think I would have been pretty well served by having a video to watch along with receiving my first saw. It would of had to have been a VCR. I didn't get hurt, but it was a honking 076 to learn on..

:thumbup:

It could be this publication online? http://www.husqvarna.com/us/support/working-with-chainsaws/tree-felling/

I think it was in California that some politicos tried to pass a bill that all table saws sold there henceforth would have to have one of those sensor stops on them where a blade touches flesh (or a hot dog for that matter) and it abruptly stops. Fairly costly device to add on, and the saw...

That is when I have come closest to seriously hurting myself with a saw, when tired and dragging. My chaps show the proof, would have been a bad one across the thigh.

Yes, with an endless kine of students, like to get a driver's license in some places, it probably takes a special teacher to remain forceful about things. They get on cruise control themselves.

That is a good point and a strange thing. Difficult training doesn't seem to produce wiser users at an amateur level. I guess that they don't take the whole issue serious enough when they get on their own.

Most injuries probably aren't from doing something that you should have known otherwise about via training. My guess is the majority are from basically knowing, but letting down your guard, in other words, a slip up. Isn't that what we have seen here amongst professionals? That being said, a...

I would guess that far more people learn to use chainsaws safely from practical experience, than end up hurting themselves that way. I could be wrong. It all seems pretty self understandable to me, as long as you know that there is the potential to be seriously hurt, and some newbie doesn't...

As applies to the average person buying a saw, I'm of the opinion that you shouldn't be forcing adults to do anything where there isn't also the potential to be hurting someone else. You can let people know the hazards of doing something, make that awareness mandatory, and perhaps show them...

One thing it might do, is at least inform people as a whole, that using a saw probably requires a degree of training, or at least having an amount of common sense about it first. As is evidenced in videos posted, that is not always the case. Maybe it could be as simple as like when you renew...
