hands and maintain a secure grip.
Do not let go.
2.
3.
Be aware of the location of the guide
bar nose at all times.
Never let the nose of the guide bar
contact any object. Do not cut limbs
with the nose of the guide bar. Be
especially careful near wire fences
and when cutting small, tough

limbs, small size brush and saplings
which may easily catch the chain.
Pull-in occurs when the chain on the
bottom of the bar is suddenly stopped
when it is pinched, caught or encounters
a foreign object in the wood. The
reaction of the chain pulls the saw
forward and may cause the operator to
lose control.
Pushback occurs when the chain on the
top of the bar is suddenly stopped when
it is pinched, caught or encounters a
foreign object in the wood. The reaction
of the chain may drive the saw rapidely
straight back toward the operator and
may cause loss of saw control.

6.
Do not overreach.
Do not cut above shoulder height.
Begin cutting and continue at full
throttle.
Pushback frequently occurs when the
top of the bar is used for cutting.
Pull-in frequently occurs when the
bumper spike of the saw is not held
securely against the tree or limb and
when the chain is not rotating at full
speed before it contacts the wood.
7.
8-
Cut only one log at a time.
Use extreme caution when
reentering a previous cut.
To Avoid Pushback
1.
Be alert to forces or situations that
may cause material to pinch the top
of the chain.
9.
Do not attempt to plunge cut if you
are not experienced with these
cutting techniques.
Warning!
2.
3.
Do not cut more than one log at a
time.
10.
11.
12.
Be alert for shifting of the log or
other forces that may cause the cut
to close and pinch the chain.
Use extreme caution when cutting small
size brush and saplings which may eas-
ily catch the chain, be whipped towards
you or pull you off balance.
Do not twist the saw when
withdrawing the bar from a plunge
cut or underbuck cut because the
chain can pinch.
Maintain saw chain properly. Cut
with a correctly sharpened, properly
tensioned chain at all times.
To Avoid Pull-in
1.
Always start a cut with the chain
rotating at full speed and the
bumper spike in contact with the
wood.
Cutting Techniques
Felling
Stand to the side of the cutting path
of the chain saw.
Felling is cutting down a tree.
2.
The risk of pull-in may also be
reduced by using wedges to open
the kerf or cut.
Before felling a tree, consider carefully
all conditions which may affect the
direction of fall.
