I have kinda tossed mine a few times I guess, but anyone who can't bend over to set a saw down is just lazy IMO.
I must be missing some of the logger lingo here.
You need to watch more Ax Men.
You need to watch more Ax Men.
Never watched it. I don't get it on TV as I don't have cable. So, how much more do I need to watch? :hmm3grin2orange: Besides, they use Axes. What does that have to do with chainsaws? :biggrin:
Yeah, it's an established scientific fact that you lose IQ points for every episode you watch.
:biggrin::biggrin: I just knew somebody would catch that. :smile2:must be a husky lol
I always set mine down, but most of the time, after I set it down, it just falls over.:hmm3grin2orange:
I mean, I could see throwing a saw on the ground if it was Husqvarna, but why abuse the Stihl? Lol. Some people just don't take care of their equipment. Not this guy. I baby my stuff. My buddy was laughing at me the other day cause it started sprinkling and our saws were outside. I went running to get mine inside. I guess I'm just anal like that.
+1I used to work for a landscaping company during summers in high school and don't worry, its not prejudice to just chainsaws, its all tools, no matter how expensive lol. Who knows, maybe their boss is always on their butts to move faster. :msp_tongue:.
I never drop my saw so's not to dull the chain, those guys don't realize they are just making their jobs harder.

I tried to train a guy once that was old enough to be my father. As I was teaching him how to check his parts, I watched him toss a 8" Mitutoyo dial caliper onto a surface plate. (granite slab)... Guys like that are really hard to train, they just don't care...
Now I have this vision in my head of a faller with things going gunnysack on a tree he's falling, and he very gently does a curtsy, not a bend, places the saw gently on the ground, and then takes off to get out of the way. Perhaps wearing a pink tutu over the rigging pants.... Oh, and be sure to dust off the saw before running to get out of harm's way. A swiffer duster can easily be carried for that job....

I consider tools to be an investment and try to treat them as such. I have had to pitch one on a few occasions while escaping but generally I try to set them down. When they drop bad things tend to happen....
