Performing Cuts with the Chainsaw
Before performing any cuts make sure all adjustable components of the chainsaw
mill and frame are tight and secure and the guide bars are the same distance from
the crossbeams at all four vertical supports.
• Cuts can be performed with the legs folded out and the stand at full height or
the legs folded in and the stand at a lower height, resting on the bottom of the
frame.
• It is best to perform cuts with the frame on a downhill angle so that gravity aids
the force of the cut.
• Start your chainsaw on the floor first and then lift by the frame handle to slot
the C-Sections into the two guide rails. DO NOT lift with a hand on the throttle,
this could be very dangerous.
• Once the chainsaw is in position, you can start the cut. Run the chainsaw before
contact with the wood and then gently push the chainsaw by the frame handle
and the throttle handle through the wood.
• Push with enough force to ease through the cut but not so much that you
overwork the chainsaw. Patience is required when milling as it can be a slow
process. You cannot force the chainsaw too hard as it can jam in a downward
motion and get stuck, ruining the finish of the cut.
• The C-Sections have two spacers inside them to allow the chainsaw to tilt in the
horizontal plane. This allows the chainsaw to tilt in a ‘see-saw’ action as you
work your way through the cut, which is especially useful when encountering
knots.
• When you reach the end of the cut, turn off your chainsaw whilst the frame is
still mounted to the guide bars and then dismount the chainsaw frame from the
guides.
• Make sure all wood that has been cut is removed from the log before starting
the next cut.
