SIMPLE SAW STARTING
BY MICHAEL N. CIAMPO
When starting a saw, have you ever placed your boot into or on a saw`s handle and knocked the throttle trigger out of the locked position? Perhaps while awkwardly bending over the saw (hunched over, with SCBA riding up your back or helmet hitting the air cylinder), you not only pull the starter cord but also a back muscle--probably due to poor saw starting posture. We can all relate to these experiences, either during routine maintenance checks or at fireground operations.
