Buzz Saw Safety: Detailed Safety Discussion and Operation

Описание: WARNING: BE READY TO TURN YOUR VOLUME DOWN AT 19:25 AND AT 28:53 !! For slow motion of a piece dropping and almost slipping under the blade see 22:07. For another piece slipping and pinching the blade see 28:00 and listen to the blade sound change. These are a couple of illustrations of the dangers about which are discussed.
This is a fairly comprehensive discussion of the do's and don'ts of working with a Cordwood Saw, whether its tractor mounted or a stationary rig ran by flat belt. This is a LONG video, but it is packed with commentary about how common sense should override action. The things discussed are a portion of the accumulation of nearly six decades of experience feeding and offbearing a variety of these saw rigs. There are many more points to make that time would not allow. The attempt is made to reinforce the thoughts of inherent danger and stressed for that thought to remain in the forefront of your mind during each and every interaction with these machines.
If grandpa left you his old buzz saw and you are afraid to hook it up and put it to use, this video is for you....If you've just bought one from an old neighbor up the road for fifty bucks and want to know the basics, this video is for you. Its for anyone that's looking for a toe-hold on logical do's and don'ts as pertained to these simple but practical power tools. Do not for a minute think every scenario is addressed...they are not...but its a good start.
I mention a time or two in the video to 'not do the things I do or do them in the manner in which I do them' because also addressed is the concept of the threshold of safety. A first time chainsaw user should use common sense and not attempt to 'fell' a six-foot diameter Douglas Fir and a first time buzz saw user should use common sense and not attempt to be as productive with the rig as someone with years of experience. The threshold of safety is for each individual to determine based on what he knows or what he has experienced about the subject at hand. I mean come on... common sense tells you to not go to a proctologist for heart surgery. Even I would not cross THAT threshold !!
Enough preaching.....please enjoy the video...I hope some degree of useful information is passed even if it is by accident (a bit of irony isn't it). Remember always to try to take a bit of information learned and try to improve on it or tailor it for use in your particular situation or circumstance....then it becomes your own to use or pass on down the line. Try daily to make someone else the beneficiary of your hard work.
Please note that all views expressed here is purely opinion only and not intended to influence anyone to sever any body part off in the use of these machines....in addition to entertainment, the intention is totally the opposite and that's to help individuals in the safe operation of a dangerous machine and to save money on hospital bills.
No apologies on the length of the video...it was necessary this time. Note too that using the FF function too often may cause you to miss the critical part that may have been just what you needed to hear to keep your body parts intact......
