dewalt strikes...beware

I used a wolverine to cut off the corners of a large diameter log to do a natural edge and the dam thing bit me good. the on/off switch is so stiff that when I tried to shut it off today, it slipped partially out of my grip and proceeded to cut a 1+1/2 inch strip 1/4 wide and

1/2 inch deep from the tip of my ring finger on my left hand back. Required 14 stitches and I'm loaded on pain killers. am I just alittle angry....you bet. At myself for using an unsafe tool and at Dewalt for selling a tool that had "potential disaster" written all over it.

yall be safe out there

basically it's a chainsaw only it's assembles like a grinder which is what the dewalt is

it is not a jerry rigged device, it's sold in most wood stores
