Essential Chainsaw Safety Tips for Clearing Storm Debris
Snow and ice storms can be beautiful to look at in the winter, but they may also cause a lot of trees to fall! Before running to your garage for the chainsaw to clear the debris, follow these important safety tips:
1. Identify potential hazards surrounding the debris before beginning work
2. Thoroughly read the chainsaw instruction manual before operating
3. Always use two hands when operating the chainsaw
4. Wear protective gear in case a limb is unexpectedly cut and comes toward you
5. Always cut hip level or lower to avoid limbs falling on you
6. When someone else is operating the chainsaw, be sure they see you before approaching
