You mean just let your hand bump the brake on when not cutting and release it again when ready to cut? I use that method quite a bit. Very quick and easy and even stops the chain real quick. Just roll your wrist forward.
Guess what one of my Christmas presents is??Ayup chaps!!!!! Mine did have a couple nicks in them. If I would of had them on,there would of been another nick added to them.
Not exactly the ones I was wanting to get, but better than no chaps at all
No,did not climb a ladder. Worse. I was heading into the woods to cut an old dead stub of a tree. Got about halfway into the woods and realized I forgot my chaps. I had them hanging up in the tractor shed,drying from when I was out in the rain.Did not want to spend the 5 minutes that it would take to go back and get them. Ayup,hit my leg with the saw. Nothing bad,I hope. Did not bleed much. I have 2 marks,as wide as a chain about 2 inches long on my left leg below my knee. I was clearing some small fir out of the way to get a good clear path to cut down the stub. I kept on a cutting,when I knew it was not bad. At least I got the stub down. And yes,I will keep an eye on it too. I need that leg right where it is.
Man,those cuts look like they will stay with me for awhile. They are still about a ¼ inch wide. But are all healed over and than some. Some new skin was added to my leg.
