When you use a chain saw, that oil ends up in the environment including

I have to say that the feds think of everything, and they worry about lots
of things I don't worry about - but - when I'm using the chain saw ...
toxic chemicals splashing in my face are the *least* of my safety concerns.

So I may seem crass, and I know the oil goes *somewhere* (just like tire
rubber goes somewhere and just like power steering fluid goes somewhere)
but on my list of things to worry about - toxic gear lube in my face isn't
yet on that list.

But thanks for the extra worry!


Just make sure you wear your chaps, mesh gloves, steel toed boots, hard
hat, and suitable hearing protection
