If incidents or accidents can be thought of as unplanned events, a way to prevent or lessen their occurrences or impact is by implementing a good plan. The chain saw safety planning process starts well before branches are trimmed, firewood is cut, ortrees are felled. A good safety plan starts "before the chips fly". Choosing the right chain saw for your application can help reduce fatigue and the associated risk of injury that comes with it. Think about how often you will use the chain saw, and whatyou will use it for. Put more emphasis on what you need than what you want. Look for high power in relation to low weight, or a good power-to-weight ratio. Generally consider a smaller bar and chain length, which will promote lighter weight, lower cost, and less time to sharpen.
