Chainsaw Safety: Types of Chainsaws and Safety Precautions

It goes without saying that chainsaws are dangerous, but useful tools. You need to be familiar with how your chainsaw works, which chainsaw to use for the job, proper safety gear, and the best ways to maintain your chainsaw. In this course, we're going to talk about the different types of chainsaws, their designs and functions, and what sets each one apart. We'll also go over safety precautions that you should be aware of, including protective gear, built-in safety features, and chainsaw maintenance.
