A CHAINSAW driven brush cutter!

What happens here

The host addresses safety concerns regarding the exposed chain. The inventor explains that the unit is designed to keep the user over 60 inches away from the chain during operation. Additionally, the throttle mechanism features a lockout, preventing unintended engagement of the chain. If the throttle is released, the chain immediately stops. The unit also includes a built-in chain catch, which prevents the chain from flinging out if it becomes untensioned or falls off, instead dropping it safely below the unit.

Goal: Understand the built-in safety features of the brush cutter.

people are gonna have is safety right they're gonna be looking at this wide open chain spinning just inches away from the ground down here and they're gonna be like that's dangerous what what do you what how do you address that [Applause] yes our unit is designed to keep the user 60 plus inches away from the chain at all times that it's being used uh as soon as you let go of the throttle that Chain's gonna stop moving and it will not start again until the throttle's re-engaged and uh there is a lockout on the handle so unless your hand is physically on the back of it you can't even pull that throttle that prevents unintentional engagement of the throttle you know starting the chain when you're not holding the unit and uh it's also got a chain catch built in so if you're running it untensioned and uh it falls off that catch is going to grab the chain and just drop it right below the unit rather than swing it out [Music] foreign
