I do not start any work emergency or otherwise until I have written permission or an email from abutting neighbors. Most homes here are second homes and the owners may be overseas or wherever. Without permission, the job isn't getting done.
I have lost a few this way, but I haven't had to defend...
The battery was really difficult going into the saw. Gentle gentle gentle, finally I got upset and gave it to it. No problem since. Like I said though, it still gives me trouble if the saw isn't sitting upright.
Glad your here to post this Mark. Internal injuries happen way easier than most would think. Just for this reason I have been splicing both ends of my rope.
