I have a workshop full of electric saws that I would be glad to teach my wife to use. The statement "not allow" pertains to a Gas powered saw used to cut down trees. It weighs 35 pounds and has 18" of cutting chain with little knifes on it. She has ask if she could use it and I have declined because it takes a lot of strength and knowledge to use one. My son of 46 has also been declined because of lack of training. A chainsaw will cripple you in a heart beat. Just like the gun I have seen many accidents and deaths involving chainsaws.Originally Posted by lizbud View Post
You don't ALLOW your wife ?
I went to a 3 day training class put on by the Forest Service or I would not operate one myself. It is not just the saw that is dangerous but the tree you are cutting. If you do not understand how energy is stored in a downed tree then you should not even cut the first branch.
