Thought about chaps, but they are no where to be found around here. Just being very careful and deliberate. No risky moves. Add to that the thing is relatively mild compared to the Husqvarna I used a few years ago. That monster was wicked! Of course being a 24" bar and the motor to push it had a lot to do with it. Boy oh boy, it was heavy. Cannot imagine lugging those big boys around all day.
I met a guy that attached a chainsaw motor to a bicycle. He burned it up real quick.
