How many of you wear a breather mask?
The first time I was out last fall cutting wood I had a snout full of crap after cutting some old Oak. I figured we take all this care to have a good saw filter and complain if the filter is not top quality. I can always buy a new saw if stuff gets in the carb and distroys the saw but a new set of lungs is kinda expensive.
So why not wear a good quality breather mask? My mask has a harness and two big filters on either side. Keeps everything out. It is great but I look like some ailien from Star Wars. Chaps, Helmet/shield with ear protection, gloves and a heavy duty breather mask. Ya my friends have given me a hard time with all this safety stuff but it is worth it.
