I'm deffinately getting ear muffs ( have them).. but am also considering a face shield with the mufs built in.

I always have the option of a hand saw or an axe... If I'm close to power or my genny, i could use one of my 2 electric saws in a pinch as well.

I will be buying a 2nd blade so i can keep 1 sharp all the time.. might just get the blade/bar set for just a few more bucks and be set already..

thanks for the advice

I bought some ear goggles from HF for $1.99 on sale. Liked em so well I went back and got 4 more pair :) Works fine and pretty comfortable. I also keep a medicine bottle full of the little yellow foam plugs in my chainsaw case.
I now have eargoggles hanging by my bench grinder, chainsaw, etc...I keep them in 1 gal sized ziplock bags to keep them clean.

I nicked myself once with my electric saw.. i had jeans on.. cut the jeans up but left no mark on me. I've decided to quit playing russian roulette with them now that I got a gas saw..

Has anyone seen the pain reliever ad (percadin?) with the guy out cutting wearing sweat shorts?
I wish I'd taken a picture of the chaps I was wearing years ago... they were almost in two pieces. :eek:Some days you really should leave the saw in the shed; I'd worked a 36 hour weekend, then drove 5 hours to my regular job that Monday morning. About an hour into the day the Partner 5000 went through the chaps like butter, cut my jeans, and left a scar on my kneecap. i don't want to think what would have happened without them.:eek:

Some of my kin tend to snicker a bit when I put on my chaps. I remind them of something I read once somewhere on this forum to the effect that the "typical" emergency room charges for a chainsaw injury are about $10,000. That usually shuts em up.
