About Chainsaws FAQ

What other items should I get to go with my new saw?

Chainsaw expert Carl Smith, in an About Chainsaws interview, also suggests you get " gloves, eye protection, hearing protection and 'above the ankle' leather boots." ...   "Other necessary tools and supplies should include wedges, ax, large hatchet or maul, properly mixed fuel, bar oil, bar wrench, chain file with protective handle, small screwdriver with magnetic head, minor maintenance tools and a first aid kit."

OSHA suggest you have the following equipment:

Hard hat Eye/Face protection Hearing protection Foot protection Snake Bite/Bee Sting kits as appropriate

Tools (wedges, axes, etc.) Hand protection if handling wire rope Leg protection First Aid Kit
