In the aftermath of severe weather, many communities are in need of clean up. At these times, homeowners and professionals alike reach for labor saving tools - and often that includes a chain saw. "Cleaning up after a storm is one situation when a chain saw is often in the hands of an inexperienced operator due to necessity," said Andy Stanush, product manager for Husqvarna. "Especially in those extreme conditions, it's crucial for anyone operating a saw to carefully review the owner's manual and follow all recommended guidelines." Post-storm cleanup presents some of the most dangerous working conditions for a saw operator. Stanush recommends that should you have any concerns about how to handle a particular situation, rely on a professional arborist or tree care expert instead of putting yourself or others at risk.
