WHAT IS THE SAFETY EQUIPMENT FOR FALLING OBJECTS?

Welcome to Westcoast Saw, where we prioritize your safety during chainsaw operations. Our extensive range of falling gear, chainsaw tools, and accessories is designed to elevate your cutting experience with top-notch equipment. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore the essential safety equipment for preventing falling objects and ensuring a secure and efficient chainsaw operation.



Importance of Falling Gear in Chainsaw Operations

Chainsaw operations inherently involve the risk of falling objects, emphasizing the need for proper safety measures. Westcoast Saw recognizes this concern and provides a diverse selection of falling gear, tools, and accessories to enhance your safety while working with chainsaws.

Felling Dogs - Strengthening Your Grip on Safety

4-Point Professional Felling Dogs:

Our 4-point professional felling dogs, or bumper spikes, are meticulously crafted for Stihl and Husqvarna chainsaws. These oversized felling dogs provide superior sticking power and leverage, especially in thick-barked trees. Manufactured in the USA and made of 1/8" heat-treated steel, these felling dogs ensure durability and reliability.

5-Point Professional Felling Dogs:

These oversized bumper spikes, designed for Stihl and Husqvarna chainsaws, offer enhanced sticking power and leverage in challenging cutting environments. Crafted from 1/8" heat-treated steel, these felling dogs provide robust support, contributing to a secure chainsaw operation.

Chain Catchers - A Crucial Element for Safety

Compatibility Note:

It's crucial to note that felling dog hardware is sold separately, and for optimal safety, we recommend pairing them with our high-quality chain catchers.

Stihl and Husqvarna Chain Catchers:

Our chain catchers are designed to fit seamlessly between the inner and outer felling dogs. Compatible with both FarmerTec and Stihl brand chainsaws, these catchers add an extra layer of strength and support to your chainsaw setup.

Installation Tip:

To ensure a perfect alignment, follow our installation tip. Bolting the inside dog to the case first, placing the chain roller on the outside dog, and then tightening the outside bolts after setting the clutch cover onto the saw will optimize the alignment and fit of the chain roller.


Enhance Safety with High-Performance Bark Boxes

Bark Box:

Introducing the Bark Box, a stainless steel muffler cover with a built-in spark arrester. Hand TIG-welded and made in the USA, this accessory promises cooler running temperatures, a distinctive sound, and a 6–10% horsepower gain for your chainsaw.

Installation Note:

For M-tronic saws, expect tuning in by the third or fourth cut post-installation. Non-M-tronic saws should be re-tuned after installing the Bark Box®. Please note that Bark Boxes are compatible only with 2-piece muffler covers.

Hidden Functions of Chainsaw-Felling Spikes

Felling Dog Hardware:

Explore the hidden functions of our 4-point and 5-point professional felling dogs. Sold separately, these oversized bumper spikes provide better sticking power and leverage in thick-barked trees, ensuring a safer cutting experience.

Chain Catchers for Added Strength:

For any dual-felling dog setup, it's imperative to run a Stihl chain catcher to enhance strength and support. Without it, the stress may lead to fractures in the outside dog. We guarantee the performance of our felling dogs when paired with the recommended chain catcher.

Conclusion

At Westcoast Saw, your safety is our priority. Equip yourself with our high-quality falling gear, chainsaw tools, and accessories to enhance your cutting experience. Whether it's the robust felling dogs, reliable chain catchers, or the performance-boosting Bark Box®, we have the tools you need for a safer and more efficient chainsaw operation.
