That Solo even _looks_ dangerous. Appears that these actually have
two hand-holds at right angles, however. I'm sure most people use
both simultaneously. Guy who sold me my first saw years ago used to
show the left hand - less index finger - and say "when you're holding
both handles, it can't happen."

Oh yes, never drop-start your chainsaw with the throttle lock engaged.

well I did a quick google search and all the "top handle chainsaws" I
found
seem to be one hand only - see
http://www.shindaiwa.com/products/chain_saws/ch357.html and
http://www.asktooltalk.com/home/gene...g/solo/633.htm
for examples.



Drop starting a chain saw makes about as much sense as quick drawing and
cocking a .45.
