WORKING TECHNIQUES
Limbing
If it is possible (can you turn the log?) stop cutting about 2/3
of the way through the log.
When limbing thick branches you should use the same
approach as for cutting.
Cut difficult branches piece by piece.

Turn the log and finish the cut from the opposite side.
The log is supported at one end. There is a high risk that it
will split.
Cutting
WARNING! Never attempt to cut logs while
they are in a pile or when a couple of logs
are lying together. Such procedures
!
drastically increase the risk of kickback
which can result in a serious or fatal injury.
Start by cutting from below (about 1/3 of the way through).
Finish by cutting from above so that the two cuts meet.
If you have a pile of logs, each log you attempt to cut should
be removed from the pile, placed on a saw horse or runners
and cut individually.
Remove the cut pieces from the cutting area.By leaving them
in the cutting area, you increase the risk for inadvertently
getting a kickback, as well as increasing the risk of losing your
balance while working.
The log is supported at both ends. There is a high risk that
the chain will jam.
Start by cutting from above (about 1/3 of the way through).
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.
Finish by cutting from below so that the two cuts meet.
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.
