WORKING TECHNIQUES
The following instructions describe how to handle the
commonest situations you are likely to encounter when
using a chain saw.
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.
Limbing
When limbing thick branches you should use the same
approach as for cutting.
Cut difficult branches piece by piece.

1
If it is possible (can you turn the log?) stop cutting about
2/3
of the way through the log.
3
Turn the log and finish the cut from the opposite side.
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.
!
The log is supported at one end. There is a high risk
that it will split.
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.
Start by cutting from below (about 1/3 of the way through).
Finish by cutting from above so that the two cuts meet.
The log is supported at both ends. There is a high risk
that the chain will jam.
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).
