Let's be extra careful using chainsaws. Look into shin guards or chaps,
learn how to use your saw properly and observe all safety rules.

I don't care if your chainsaw cost $600 or $99 or $15 - Spend $60 or so
on a good, UL-rated, set of saw chaps, and use them Every Single Time
you start the saw. No exceptions. Don't have a set? Don't use your saw
until you have bought a set. Cheaper than the ambulance ride, cheaper
than the emergency room visit, probably cheaper than the emergency room
copayment. And think of the time you'll _save_ by not needing to go to
the emergency room.
