Re: Always read operator's manual !

I found it in an operator's manual (Husqvarna chain saw )

Doesn't surprise me to find it there. That has been done by some smart(?) people. Oh where has common sense gone to.

Someone's got to do it, so I'll step up to the plate.

Funny post, but there's a binaries group for this type of post. Text groups within usenet are for text only.

And you can bet the reson it is there is because of a lawyer. Some dunce probably preformed a cut as set out in the drawing and decided after getting mangled that he should have been warned that using a chain saw like this was a bad idea.

One should NEVER do that...if you are more than five feet or so above the ground :)

When I lived out the boondocks I met a farmer who, I was told later, actually did do that. From pretty high up. Several people I asked confirmed it. One of 'em told me he carried a picture of himself in the hospital bed after that, just one big bruise, and he'd take it out to show people what could happen when you screw up.

Some months later I was listening to the local radio station's call-in swap and sell show, and he called in to tell everyone that if they build one of those chimney cleaner things, the kind with the brush on a cable and pulleys at both ends and a crank so you can send the chimney brush up and down the chimney, that you shouldn't use nylon rope for the cable 'cause it starts a chimney fire.

I think that fall did some permanent damage.
