I just bought some chaps...but I had already did most of the work. I
never considered the face sheild or the toe guards. I will check
them out. The thing is, I rarely use the thing....but at the same
time, safety is nothing to skimp on.
In terms of the chain dulling out. I read that a good indicator of a
dull chain is..... if the chips are sawdust when the bar oil level is
correct. Are there any other indicators?....and how often do you
sharpen when cutting hardwood?
