When leaves begin to fall and twigs are scattered across the yard, it's time for a fall cleanup. Chainsaws and blowers are great assets to have on hand to make fall cleanup easier and faster.

Chainsaws can help to clean up fallen trees from a storm or to prepare cut wood for a bon fire. Whenever using a chainsaw, proper safety gear should be worn at all times. Proper safety steps should be adhered to at all times as well. Check the chain tensions and bar nuts for tightness before attempting to start any chainsaw. Chainsaws should be pointed away from people and objects when starting. Never 'drop-start' a chainsaw and consider starting the chainsaw on the ground or another form of support. Never leave any type of equipment or machinery running and unattended.
