Warren, OH -- (SBWire) -- 10/31/2016 --Chainsaws can help to clean up fallen trees from a storm or to prepare cut wood for a bon fire. Whenever using a chainsaw, proper safety gear should be worn at all times. Proper safety steps should be adhered to at all times as well. Check the chain tensions and bar nuts for tightness before attempting to start any chainsaw. Chainsaws should be pointed away from people and objects when starting. Never 'drop-start' a chainsaw and consider starting the chainsaw on the ground or another form of support. Never leave any type of equipment or machinery running and unattended.
Safety gear should include items that cove extremities, eyes and ears. Goggles made with an optical-grade polycarbonate provide greater impact resistance than ordinary goggles. Gloves made from a durable material can provide protection against flying debris and increase grip strength. Leg chaps made with Kevlar are very popular and provide a strong protective layer between the user and the chainsaw. Various lengths of chaps are available as well; chaps can be worn from the hip to the toe and also from the knee to the toe. Wear the proper chap for the job to ensure safety and wellbeing. Boots that are approved as saw protective and offer steel toes are a smart investment. These boots will help protect users from injury or reduce the severity of an injury. Ear protection is also a smart addition to any safety gear. The decibel level of running machinery will vary depending on the specifics of the item being used. Review the owner's manual to help decide which level of ear protection is best. If the chainsaw user plans to work when the sun is just rising or setting, consider adding reflective clothing to ensure the user is visible and does not blend into the landscape. There are a multitude of safety products available on the market today and Do-Cut's Power Equipment Warehouse carries a large and diverse selection of quality safety gear.
