SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Finish by cutting from above so that the two cuts meet.
WARNING! If the chain jams in the cut: stop
!
the engine! Don’t try to pull the chain saw
free. If you do you may be injured by the
chain when the chain saw suddenly breaks
free. Use a lever to open up the cut and free
the chain saw.
The following instructions describe how to handle the
commonest situations you are likely to encounter when using
a chain saw.
The log is supported at both ends. There is a high risk that
the chain will jam.
Cutting
The log is lying on the ground. There is little risk of the
chain jamming or the object splitting. However there is a risk
that the chain will touch the ground when you finish the cut.
Start by cutting from above (about 1/3 of the way through).
Cut all the way through the log from above. Avoid letting the
chain touch the ground as you finish the cut. Maintain full
throttle but be prepared for what might happen.
Finish by cutting from below so that the two cuts meet.
Limbing
When limbing thick branches you should use the same
approach as for cutting.
Cut difficult branches piece by piece.
If it is possible (can you turn the log?) stop cutting about 2/3
of the way through the log.

Turn the log and finish the cut from the opposite side.
Tree felling technique
WARNING! It takes a lot of experience to fell
a tree. Inexperienced users of chain saws
should not fell trees. Do not attempt any task
that you feel unsure of!
!
The log is supported at one end. There is a high risk that it
will split.
Safe distance
The safe distance between a tree that is to be felled and
anyone else working nearby is at least 21/2 tree lengths.
Make sure that no-one else is in this ”risk zone” before or
during felling.
Start by cutting from below (about 1/3 of the way through).
