How many of you honestly wear what should be worn when you're cutting privately in your back yard, and not "on the clock?"
I wear my street clothes when I'm cutting, and no chaps, hardhats, eye protection, hardhat, gloves, boots, etc... Why? I know what will happen if I open that sucker up and ram the bar tip into the side of some timber.
Common sense dictates to me what is safe and what is not. A helmet will not protect me from stupidity, although it may help?
I kid you not... It is more important to wear eye protection operating an electric line trimmer than it is when operating saw. This is from personal experience...
I'm even extra hardcore... I'll even start my saw without the chainbrake engaged!
