|  | Chainsaws, Etc. by Dave Johnson
No piece of equipment demonstrates the raw power of the internal combustion engine as dramatically as the chain saw. In the right hands, a chain saw can do in a weekend what might take the woodcutter of yesteryear an entire summer. And yet, no machine is more dangerous. One lapse in concentration or caution can cause a lifetime of regret. Most rural homeowners have a chain saw, but most saws are purchased with very little in the way of detailed information about safe operation and maintenance. Now Dave Johnson, a lifelong man of the woods, has written a book that will turn your fear into healthy respect, and turn your chain saw into one of the most productive tools in your shed.
