[QUOTE="Isna, post: 3335930, member: 25576"] The danger with top handle saws is that it's easy to use it with 1 hand. I've seen so many people hold a branch with one hand and cutting with the other. DANGER! if the saw skids, you cut your left hand. Being in charge of safety, that is totally forbidden in my crew. Also, holding the saw with 1 hand is very dangerous if the saw kickbacks. It is not less dangerous when tree climbing, but it sometimes is necessary, unlike when cutting on the ground. Finally, since I'm the one doing the "tree climbing" jobs I want to keep my ms200T in perfect working condition (that's what I tell the workers who don't give a sh*t about safety). I never understood why our crew always wants to use the 200T on the ground. The 260 is not only safer but also more comfortable. [/QUOTE]
