WORKING TECHNIQUES
Cutting
The log is supported at one end. There is a high risk that it
will split.
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).
Finish by cutting from below so that the two cuts meet.
Tree felling technique
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.
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.
IMPORTANT! It takes a lot of experience to fell a tree.
Inexperienced users of chain saws should not fell trees. Do
not attempt any task beyond your experience level!
If it is possible (can you turn the log?) stop cutting about 2/3
of the way through the log.
Safe distance
The safe distance between a tree that is to be felled and
anyone else working nearby is at least 2 1/2 tree lengths.
Make sure that no-one else is in this ”risk zone” before or
during felling.
Turn the log and finish the cut from the opposite side.
