Chainsaws are handy, hard-working tools, but they can also be very dangerous.

Basic rules for working with chainsaws:

1. Keep a steady grip on both handles on the chainsaw.
2. Stand with your feet apart. To achieve the best possible balance, put your left foot slightly in front of your right foot.
3. Do not work with a curved spine, bend your knees instead when working in low positions.
4. Do not be afraid of the saw! Hold it close to your body for better balance and to make the saw feel less heavy.
5. When moving in several steps, you should activate the chain brake/turn off the engine, or fit the guide bar guard if you moving in longer distance.
6. Make sure that no one is closer than 3–5m of you when working with a chainsaw. During tree felling, a greater safety distance is required.

PLEASE NOTE: It is very IMPORTANT to wear safety gear.

Mowing your lawn may seem like a pretty cut-and-dried chore, but there are definite do's and don’ts when it comes to cutting grass.

Here's a few helpful tips to learn how to mow like a pro and keep your lawn healthy😎:

- Never mow when the sun is at its peak, as your grass will lose a lot of water and won’t recover easily. Mow your lawn in the morning before 10AM or in the evening.

- Leave behind grass clippings instead of bagging them.
The clippings release water and nutrients into the soil as they decompose, which helps the grass grow back strong and healthy.

- Many people make the mistake of cutting their grass too short, which can harm your lawn in the long run.

- It can be tempting to rush through mowing your lawn when you’re short on time. But it’s better in the long run to take your time and do the job right. Rushing a lawn mow often results in missed patches, uneven rows and big clumps of clippings deposited in random areas of the lawn.

It’s better for the look and health of your lawn to slow down and do a thorough job.

Tips for watering your lawn in summer😎

- On average, depending on your grass type, your lawn needs 1½ to 2 inches of water every week to encourage a strong and healthy rooting system.
- You should water each section of your lawn twice a week for about 35 to 40 minutes.
- Try to avoid overuse as much as possible.
- Make sure you are watering evenly.
- Use a soil moisture meter to check if the lawn is sufficiently hydrated all over.
- Pay attention to how your soil responds to watering.
- If you have trees, shrubs or hedges growing around your lawn, increase the amount of water you give it.
- Water early morning or in the evening to stop evaporation.
- If your lawn is not receiving enough water, it will experience drought stress, causing it to turn brown, lose important nutrients, and potentially spread lawn disease.
