Default Re: Split Beech tree

Grip down on that saw I tell myself 10 times a day. Thumb gos under the handle and that is your # 1 defence against kickback. I get tired and find myself holding onto a saw like a 11 year old girl. no no young bucky hold on. Its not if, its when. By the time your mind reacts to the kickback its already happend. I'v made a habit of locking my left elbow to so if something happens the saw flies strait up. Be safe out there guys and dont be shy about setting someone strait when it comes to saw safety.
