He is also in danger of dropping the saw and that is no way to treat your tools. ;) ;)

Thank you, John as the AWGB H&S Rep. for bringing this to our attention. In what contexts did it originate, safety or the joker. It is far from being funny, but this kind of person is likely, well has proven to be out there. At best it such be to educate them, if possible that it's in our means.

Hi David,
              I suppose as the H&S guy I should tell you that is where it came from but I have to confess originally I found it rather amusing and agreed wholeheartedly with 7thdevil that the gene pool would benefit from a bit of thinning. However the more I think about it the more I realise that this could actually have happened. I don't think any right minded person would even pose for a picture like that so I have to assume it's for real which is even sadder than laughing at it in the first place.
     The teeth on my chain saw are really sharp and I would never consider holding it like that for any reason, you can get chain saw vices that fix to fence posts that are designed to hold them for working on but I always prefer to put the saw on the bench or on the ground to work on it.( its very easy to bend the thingy that takes the blade) If anyone wants to use a chain saw the Associations advice is clear, get proper training ,wear proper PPE and always work safely.

You beat me to it Mark...  and not as a place to be propped nor support for one's pint ..   ;D .. then should it be your round .. Old Buzzard .. there...  ;) ..

There's a small stand which clamps to the bar for holding during sharpening... I've cut into a log for support before now to re-sharpen the blade... sad thing I've just the one saw now ..  >:( ..

Cheers   David
