"Better yet, you should be cutting it for the year after next. “And when it comes time to burn it, do it safely. Wood stove and fireplace accidents are also on the rise.” r LEGAL NOTICES Last year, more than 50,000 Americans required hospital treatment for chain saw injuries, many of which could have been avoided, the safety manager of a major forest-products com pany says. “With more people using wood in their fireplaces and with wood stoves increasing at about a million each year, we’re seeing a lot more inexperienced chain-saw users in the woods,” Stovall Farmer of Georgia-Pacific Corp^ observes, noting that chain saws in use have tri pled to about 15 million over the past decade. Most chain-saw injuries involve kickbacks and fal ling on the saw. Farmer explains. “A lot of people don’t consider tripping hazards- like tree limbs and uneven ground —when they’re cut ting wood,” he says. “Then they get caught up in what they’re doing and go from one job to the next with that saw buzzing away. “Never, never cut above shoulder' height,” Parmer emphasizes, poirrting out that a kickback and Toss of control can have disastrous consequences in such a case. Other safety rules are largely common sense, but bear repeating. Farmer notes, because so many people seem to forget them when it comes time to fire up their saws. These include; — Think ahead; don’t work too fast; quit before you’re tired. Keep others away from cutting area. — Dress to protect head, feet, legs and hands;and pre serve your hearing with ear protection. — Be careful with fuel. — Do your cutting with the engine running wide open. According to Farmer, a "safety attitude” is the most important factor of all. He says he has seen this to be the rule in all lines of work. . . . and chose chains can really chew you up.” As for kickbacks, which can result in a sudden and violent loss of control when the moving chain binds or touches some object. Farmer recommends a careful reading of the safety litera ture provided with every chain-saw. “Bad attitudes and poor work habits cause injuries,” he observes. “Eighty percent of your injuries involve on ly 20 percent of your work force. We’ve got some em ployees who’ve worked 45 years and never had an injury.” SUMMONS, IN THE FAMILY COURT, STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COUNTY OF SPARTAN BURG, Teresa T.
