Chainsaw Usage Question From First Time Chainsaw User ?
Hello:
Have just bought a gas powered chainsaw to try and cut up a tree trunk that
fell in my yard.
Not that large, but too much for a hand saw.
Have never used a chain saw before. Frankly, it scares the heck out of me;
not looking forward to using it.
Anyway, have this question:
It's been raining a bit here.
Should the trunk be "totally" dry before trying to cut it up, or, as the
rain water probably never
penetrates more than an inch or so, I would expect, it really doesn't matter
?
Or, does it ?
Would there be more chance of a "kickback" if wet ?
What should I probably be asking ?
Any hints would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob
