MP,
What were you using to do the dirty deed?

Im just guessing it was a dull saw.

Corona.......Razor Tooth Saw.....pull back cutting action, Went through my leather gloves,I thought it was nothing until the glove was full of the red stuff.I worked for about an hour before going to the Dr. I hate needles. I was warned that the Tetnus Vac. is in short supply,so I didn't get the shot.I was sewn up back in April and bitten by a Brown Recluse 3 weeks before that so i got the Vac. then. It's a jungle out there.

Its no wonder you cut yourself--drinking Coronas while using a handsaw is frowned upon by OSHA

When I started using handsaws I found it all too easy to cut myself, maybe they dont seem too dangerous without a 2- stroke engine, but they certainly cut the flesh very effectively.

I must be clumsy, I do it at least once a month. I just keep a roll of TP and some bandage tape handy.

Got some nice marks on my wrist from the one time I used a pole saw in a bucke. No place to stow the damn thing and I turnd around and flaid myself. (not that bad)

I've done it twice already. Vigorously handsawing through deadwood and was apparently not concentrating on how far through the cut I was. Finally I broke through and I jammed the Fanno's teeth right into my knee. Thought nothing of it until my jeans turned red. Then, last weekend, I was using the Fanno to swat twigs down and I happened to be holding the host branch of one of the twigs. One tooth of the Fanno put a hole in my finger nail. On neither of these was I raking the saw across my body...just kind of hammered the teeth into me. Only minor injuries but definitely be careful with the handsaws.
