But when you are using a chainsaw, it can be very dangerous, too, if you\u2019re not using it properly.<\/p>\n<p>Below are seven rules to follow when you are using a chainsaw to make sure that you\u2019re staying safe.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list\">\n<li>Properly stand using a boxer stance. If you are right-handed, put your left foot a bit in front and at an angle of 45 degrees, with your right foot in back slightly. Your feet should be apart about the width of your shoulders with your knees bent. If you\u2019re left handed, reverse it.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure both hands are kept on the saw. Don\u2019t ever remove your eyes from your bar while you\u2019re cutting.<\/li>\n<li>Plan the cut so you\u2019ll know exactly where your saw\u2019s bar\u2019s going to exit your log. Remember, it\u2019s not where you\u2019re starting your cut that is going to count, it\u2019s where you\u2019re finishing it. This means you don\u2019t want to go right through your log so it goes through to the opposite side and hits your foot or leg.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Florida Tree is the most trusted and top rated Tree &amp; Ground Maintenance company in the area. But don&#8217;t take our word for it, see what your neighbors are saying about us and <a href=\"\/reviews\">read our reviews<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list\">\n<li>Don\u2019t let the pull of the saw catch you by surprise. When you\u2019re cutting on the bar\u2019s bottom, you\u2019re going to be pulled towards log, cutting on the bar\u2019s top is going to push you away.<\/li>\n<li>Be aware of the nasty kickback zone. You should never dig your bar into this zone.<\/li>\n<li>Be smart when choosing your chainsaw. Unless you have had formal training in using a chainsaw, you should buy a chain saw with reduced kickback. This is going to cut slower, but it also is going to be a lot safer.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you\u2019re wearing the right type of safety gear. This includes things like protection for your eyes and ears, gloves, boots and chaps.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are seven rules that you should use to keep yourself safe when you\u2019re using a chain saw. Remember that you can seriously get injured while using one, so be careful and protect yourself and those around you.<\/p>\n<h2>HAVE MORE QUESTIONS?<\/h2>\n<p>Florida Tree and Ground\u00a0is a family owned company dedicated to satisfying the needs of our customers.
