Story Behind the Invention
Inventor Carl A. Stacey of Castleton, VT has created a pneumatic apparatus to assist in the starting of gasoline powered chain saws in a safe manner.
The gasoline powered chain saw is popular for cutting large amounts of firewood. The fast moving chain makes quick work of even the biggest logs. However, the chain saw is often known for causing horrible injuries. Many of these accidents occur when starting a chain saw, as the saw is frequently held in only one hand and jerked downward while pulling upward on the pull cord to start the saw. Not only is this action dangerous should the chain contact the user, but it is also dangerous due to the possibility of ergonomic injury from the large weight and heavy force applied by one's arms, shoulders, and backs. Inventor Stacey has created a means by which gasoline powered chain saws can be easily started in a safe manner.
This clever new invention uses compressed air to start the chain saw. It eliminates having to repeatedly pull the recoil cord. It easily adapts between different makes and models of saws. It is especially great for the elderly, disabled, or those lacking physical strength to start a chain saw. The device can be used for new chain saws or can be provided as an add-on kit. The use of the Pneumatic Starter for Chain Sawsallows for starting chain saws in a manner which is not only quick, easy, and effective, but safe as well.
