their pivot point or fulcrum can be moved to increase the size range of their jaw
ratchet and socket set
located on rescues
vice grips
stronger than ordinary pliers (toolbox)
ball-peen hammer
two heads
- flat for striking punches and chisels
- round for peening (surface hardening by impact)
located on rescues
white absorbent pads

Grey absorbent pads
universal absorbent pad
- will absorb hydrocarbons and water
natural gas vice-grips

pre-hospital care
chainsaw safety
wear full duty gear, gloves and face shield/hearing protection
wildland - use chainsaw chaps and forestry helmet
keep a firm grip
avoid cutting across your body
cut with full RPMs
avoid the bars kickback zone
rotational kickback
violent reaction which occurs when the chain at the upper section of the nose is suddenly stopped
upward arc towards the operator
linear kickback
is a push reaction
occurs if the saw blade is buried in the cut when the cut closes and thereby pinches the chain along the top rails of the bar
to prevent kickback
keep a good firm grip
dont let the kickback zone of the guide bar contact any obstructions
always cut with full RPMs
dont overreach or cut above shoulder height
chain brake
designed to stop the rotation of the chain in less than 1/20 of a second
3 positions of the chain brake
1 - center position - chain brake is neutral (disengaged)
2 - forward - brake is engaged
3 - back position - used to disengage the brake
if the saw is run with the chain brake engaged
the clutch, oil pump and chain brake will be damaged
chain tension
tight as possible without restricting chain movement
fuel and oil - bullet saw requires either
- gas with synthetic pre-mis oil mixed at a 100:1 ratio
- oil premix is petroleum base 2-cycle oil it is a 50:1 ratio
fuel and oil - stihl saw
50:1 ratio
