bar and could result in serious injury or fatality. The 
length of chain depends on the temperature. Check the 
tension frequently.

 

Ŷ

You should get used to your new chainsaw by making 
simple cuts on securely supported wood. Do this 
whenever you have not operated the saw for some 
time.

 

Ŷ

To reduce the risk of injury associated with contacting 
moving parts, always stop the motor, apply chain brake, 
remove the plug from the power socket and make sure 
all moving parts have come to a stop before:

 

cleaning or clearing a blockage

 

leaving the product unattended

 

installing or removing attachments

 

checking, maintenance or working on the machine

 

Ŷ

The size of the work area depends on the job being 
performed as well as the size of the tree or work piece 
involved. For example, felling a tree requires a larger 
work area than making other cuts, i.e., bucking cuts, 
etc. The operator needs to be aware and in control of 
everything happening in this work area.

 

Ŷ

Do not cut with your body in line with the guide bar 
and chain. If you do experience kickback this will help 
prevent the chain coming into contact with your head 
or body.

 

Ŷ

Do not use a back and forward sawing motion, let the 
chain do the work, keep the chain sharp and don’t try to 
push the chain through the cut.

 

Ŷ

Do not put pressure on the saw at the end of the cut. 
Be ready to take on the weight of the saw as it cuts free 
from the wood. Failure to do so could result in possible 
serious personal injury.

 

Ŷ

Do not stop the saw in the middle of a cutting operation. 
Keep the saw running until it is already removed from 
the cut. 

Push and pull

The reaction force is always opposite to the direction the 
chain is moving. Thus, the operator must be ready to

the top edge.

Saw jammed in the cut

Stop the chainsaw and make it safe. Do not try to force the 
chain and bar out of the cut as this is likely to break the 
chain which may swing back and strike the operator. This 
situation normally occurs because the wood is incorrectly 
supported and forcing the cut to close under compression 
thereby pinching the blade. If adjusting the support does 
not release the bar and chain, use wooden wedges or a 
lever to open the cut and release the saw. Never try to start 
the chainsaw when the guide bar is already in a cut or kerf.

Personal protective equipment

Good quality, personal protective equipment as used 
by professionals will help to reduce the risk of injury to 
the operator. The following items should be used when 
operating your chainsaw:

 

Ɣ

Safety helmet

 

Ɣ

Hearing protection

 

Ɣ

Eye and face protection

 

Ɣ

Gloves

INSTRUCTIONS CONCERNING THE PROPER TECH-
NIQUES FOR BASIC FELLING, LIMBING, AND CROSS-
CUTTING

Understanding the forces within the wood

When you understand the directional pressures and 
stresses inside the wood you can reduce the “pinches” or 
at least expect them during your cutting. Tension in the

cut in this area the “kerf” or cut will tend to open as the saw 
goes through. If a log is being supported on a saw horse 
and the end is hanging unsupported over the end then 
tension is created on the upper surface due to the weight

XQGHUVLGHRIWKHORJZLOOEHLQFRPSUHVVLRQDQGWKH¿EHUV

are being pushed together. If a cut is made in this area the 
kerf will have the tendency to close up during the cut. This 
would pinch the blade.

Felling a tree

See page 17 - 18.

When bucking and felling operations are being performed 
by two or more persons at the same time, the felling 
operations should be separated from the bucking operation 
by a distance of at least twice the height of the tree being 
felled. Trees should not be felled in a manner that would 
endanger any person, strike any utility line or cause any 
property damage. If the tree does make contact with any 

XWLOLW\OLQHWKHFRPSDQ\VKRXOGEHQRWL¿HGLPPHGLDWHO\

The chainsaw operator should keep on the uphill side of 
the terrain as the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill after 
it is felled.

An escape path should be planned and cleared as 
necessary before cuts are started. The escape path should 
extend back and diagonally to the rear of the expected line 
of fall.

Before felling is started, consider the natural lean of the 
tree, the location of larger branches and the wind direction 
to judge which way the tree will fall.

Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples and wire 
from the tree.

Do not attempt to fell trees which are rotten or have been

dangerous and should only be completed by professional 
tree surgeons.

 

Ŷ

Notching undercut

See page 17 - 18.

Make the notch 1/3 the diameter of the tree, 
perpendicular to the direction of falls. Make the lower 
horizontal notching cut first. This will help to avoid 
pinching either the saw chain or the guide bar when the 
second notch is being made.
