Safety tips for chopping wood with a chainsaw
Keep others away from where you will be working because safety should always come first!
Make sure your chainsaw is in a stable position.
Make sure your clothes and shoes are appropriate for the task at hand! Wear work gloves as well.
Make sure to keep your chainsaw running smoothly and that the blades are sharp. The best way is with a file every time you use the chainsaw.
Always keep an eye out when operating machinery for anything from falling logs (or chunks) from trees above all the way down to rocks rolling onto the ground underneath. You don’t want accidents while splitting wood with a chainsaw!
Remember to keep your chainsaw oiled up before, during, and after work!
Keep the chainsaw’s engine oil capacity at an appropriate level too!
If safety cutouts are in place on your saw (meaning they’ll shut down when too much pressure is put upon them), use them as often as possible!
