Drum Beat! What NOT to do!!!

I had the rope starting mechanism off a Briggs and Stratton engine, and was rewinding the spring when it got away from me, uncoiling, twisting and cutting the heck out of my fingers, and then the spring did the unforgivable and hit my Harley fender putting a chip in the paint. That was the last straw. Blood all over, cuts between most of my fingers, my hands would heal, but the paint would not. Ballpein hammer, and some heavy duty cuss words fixed that problem. Had to go to the lawnmower shop junkpile to get another housing containing the rope starter for my engine. But, Man! Did that ever feel good.
