Well demonstrated and presented a great opportunity for all to look at their techniques and always improve on ones knowledge!
WHOLE VIDEO HERE: czcams.com/video/HBEUYs6I6vU/video.html Not sure why there is a "preview" video (that is half the actual video??!!) but the actual video is a great video, watch the whole thing at this link. For those saying that they have an issue with the intro, that is how effective workplace training videos work - they effectively scare you into the reality of how much the actual danger is here. Think this is bad then watch forklift workplace training videos! It works though, Ontario has one of the best safety records in the world in no small part due to the mandated safety training and equipment required on the job.
One of the best chainsaw safety videos I have seen
Great advice!
So basically a huge number of professionals doing videos for CZcams haven’t watched this video where so many times, there’s no safety bear anda
Insightful..well thought out
If you meet somebody resolutely overconfident on the subject of chainsaws, point them toward (by way of an example) the Journal of Traumatic Injury's submission by Han Joo Choi in 2019 (warning, it's very graphic, but the man did survive). Also, whoever and wherever you are, do a first aid course with trauma treatment, and then buy yourself some hemostatic (celex or similar) gauze or powder. Several people I've worked with know people whose lives were saved by it. The Korean guy in the above article also owes his life to it.
Never never try to be tough guy use this.30 k thousands people getting hurt terribly by chainsaws yearly
Good advice.
chainsaw man reference
Saw arrived yesterday czcams.com/users/postUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and today I cut about 3/4 cord of wood with it. Make sure you get an extension chord that is at least 12 gauge wire, minimum. This is my first electric in about 10 years, and things sure have improved. The self-sharpener works great, and it just kept cutting through some pretty decent logs. Wear your eye protection, and ear protection. Excellent saw.
thanks for the laoded content ,,very infromative
And,yes folks. You don't have to speed and bounce around like the first jackass's in the video.
The amount of people cutting with one hand with big powerfull saws on youtube is crazy,
How many lives has grandpa saved 😊
This video is great, informative, practical, and not fear mongering. I just bought my first chainsaw and other videos made me scared to even use it. Now I think I can give it a try. Thanks Workplace North.
WorkSafeBC has better chainsaw and falling videos
Those old 272s had awsome breaks
25:07 that's particularly important if there are wasps nearby.
Frightened the hell out of me. I'll be more aware of the proper handling and safety when using my saws. WOW. Super impressed. Thank you Barry.
The john Wayne of chainsaws
Nice explanation. thank you
When bar becomes stuck ,kill the engine. Use second saw to relieve with a new cut, it releases the pressure on. First saw. Always use two chainsaws when cutting logs.
Never had kickback happen ever. It’s quite hard to encounter unless you absolutely have no idea how to use a chainsaw
Is it because they force it too much or something?
@@claytonbigsby9673 only way you’d have kickback with a chainsaw is by cutting downward into something that is springy meaning something that will fling upwards once it’s cut apart which would bring the saw back into your face but that’s why you observe your surroundings first before cutting
I cringe when I see people cutting into multiple logs on the ground. Separate them out at least and cut off the ground if possible with a saw horse.
I feel real sorry for you Dave.You are a hell of a fighter.
damn dugg ruined the whole cookie dough mix
I’m glad I haven’t seen any chainsaw man fans yet
1:20 guy is laughing
My grandpa worked as a faller, and bucker for almost 30 years. He had a couple kickback accidents, luckily they weren’t severe, and he witnessed a few accidents from his coworkers. The woods is a dangerous place to work in. Even working around the house with a chainsaw is dangerous. I remember the first time I used one, my grandpa specifically told me this. “You better make sure that saw does not touch anything at the tip, because if that saw kicks back, you’re done. Those sons of bitches have no mercy!” So I would like to say thank you to my grandpa, and the people who made this video! Hopefully others will watch this and take it seriously!
So I just started my own chainsaw Chanel and its picking up slowly . Any tips besides being kind and polite? @boostaddict

Thank you for an explanatory video. I took down a rotten maple so it wouldn't damage our fence we are putting up. And thanks to this video I did it on my own and it wasn't the biggest 3 but a good 16 x 16 inches and it was the first time using a chain saw. Truly good video.
"What can we do about it?" Was this ever answered??
Chainsaw Man Opening Kickback
I disagree with the full power statement at 8:22 If you hit something bad enough(bad enough tip angle with enough force, hit a wedge or hit steel, etc.), no saw is going to keep pulling the chain through, no matter how powerful! Even if it does pull through, it's still going to cause a kickback, because of newtons third law. The chain speed can remain constant, you will still have kickback if you are cutting hard with the nose because the force the chain is pushing down on the wood with must be equal to the force it's pushing the nose up with. So, if you know there is such a risk, you should saw gently with low chain-speed with posture that gives you a way to resist, that way you can handle the kickback if it comes. It's precisely when you got a powerful saw running at full chain-speed when kickback can be the worst. I saw a guy hit his plastic wedge with the nose during the back cut, it was so violent, I'm sure it would have rotated the bar around and hit him in the back of the calf if it didn't hit another tree on the way. I saw a guy cut firewood outside of his garage, he did a back and forth motion with his saw, then he came to the 4th cut and there was the butt of another log lying dangerously close to where he was cutting. OFC he pushed the saw tip right in to the end-grain of the other log and the saw hit him so hard in the skull that he was bleeding heavily even though the chain break did it's job. If it didn't stop the chain, his skull would be sawn right in two. This would have happened regardless of how powerful the saw was or how sharp the chain was. There's only 2 things that can prevent this, better technique and/or keeping the chain-speed low enough where the kickback is manageable even if the chain gets caught.
He was talking about trying to saw through timber not your damn wedge. good grief.
@@NoName-ml5yk Things like that happens. They make them out of plastic for the very reason that people tend to hit them sometimes. Can you honestly say you've never hit your wedge while making a back cut? All the cut marks on most people's wedges tells me another story. Even if it's not wedges, you can have old steel buried deep in the wood that can cause a real bad kickback if you're unlucky and hit it at the wrong angle. Ofc you can't calculate for this because it's a freak accident... Unless you're working on some trees that used to be part of a treehouse or something, then you can expect a ton of steel in the stump. Even if it's just wood, it will stall out any saw if hard enough and the feed is enough. Try hitting endgrain with the tip of you're nose, it will kick real bad, no mater how sharp your chain is or how high your chain-speed is.
I've been using a tiny pos electric chain saw, but finally purchased a real chainsaw and decided I should do some research before using it. Glad I did! Found this video before I hurt myself. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Possibly redundant by now, but if you haven't, try one of the basic chainsaw operator courses if they're available in your country/region, it makes a world of difference. In the UK it's the CS30/31 combined course.
really good video, very instructive, complete, and well intrepreted, you should be an actor !
And no im scared to use my chainsaw again
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
To bad the tree didn't fall on the music.......why does everyone think they have to play music in their videos......very annoying
Ouch, scary, I might just skip the chainsaw idea
Do you use the aiming lines on the back cut
Can you not put your body on the side of the chain saw when you cut? I know that's is a little Harder to do but that's what I do. Keep you're self out of line if that chain if you can. Also a good sharp chain helps to
Great tutorial Barry. You were known for being a kind and smart guy. Also very popular with the ladies. My Grandmother loved watching you.
Nice acting
Thanks for the good job,the information is very helpful
