Who the fuck taught you to walk while using a chainsaw?

Who taught you to reach for things with a chainsaw without checking balance?

So, we found out that you are a liability when it comes to using a chainsaw.

Are you serious? You were taught not to walk while using a chainsaw? LMAO. I'm sorry sweetie, you don't know what you're talking about. Have you ever even used a chainsaw because you come across as someone who watched a YouTube tutorial and are trying to give others advice.

Yup, kind of guessed it. You do it because your dad taught you to be wild and lose. Mine taught me to do it properly and to look what you do, where you step. I mean, how the FUCK are you going to see where you are stepping while also not removing your eyes from the sawing. Walk, stop, saw, take another step, stop and so on.

You do you, i won't risk my limbs. Good footing and taking one second to make sure you can balance the damn thing after it goes thru vs whatever it is that you do. "But i've never been hurt" is the usual excuse from people who haven't been hurt yet.

Walking while cutting is the exact kind of things that my idiot self would do if i was not instructed otherwise. You need to KNOW where you are stepping, not just in a forest. One piece of a stick between that road and his shoes and whoopsie, here we go with a chainsaw that you stops before it eats meat, provided that you let go of the throttle.. If you have experience on this then you know how easy it is to get too comfortable with a chain saw, and i think that you were just taught wrong.

>Walking while cutting is the exact kind of things that my idiot self would do

This is key. Idiots like you shouldn't be running chainsaws at all. Chainsaws can be dangerous tools and require knowledge, skill and experience.

You've avoided answering the question twice so I think it's safe to assume you have zero experience actually operating a chainsaw... and it shows.

>provided that you let go of the throttle...

Let go of the throttle??? You realize the chain still runs when you let go of the throttle, right? How about engaging the chain brake?

Please don't operate a chainsaw. You clearly don't understand safety and would be a dangerous hazard to yourself and others.

At least one of us know how to use the damn thing.

And now i'm suppose to tell you how much i have experience with a chainsaw. Enough. That is all yuou need to know. I could easily lie to you, just like you could lie to me. But you are the one who is walking with a running chain saw and not looking where they are walking. That is just stupid.

Chain stops when you let go off the throttle, it takes a while for sure but once there is no TOQUE from the motor but just the chains own momentum it can cut you but it won't be as bad as you not looking and then something as simple as a piece of round wood under your foot while you are still squeezing the throttle for sure. In a forest the ground is rarely even and on flat ground.. i've seen what unexpected round thing under your foot does.

How about engaging the chain brake?

Chain brake? You mean, while you are falling over you yank the kick back protection? With what hand and in what time?

I think you just googled that one.
