•

Always use full throttle when cutting!

•

Let go of the power trigger after every cut (running the 
motor for too long at full power without any load, i.e. 
without any resistance from the chain during cutting, 
can lead to serious damage to the motor).

•

Cutting from above = Cutting on the pull stroke.

•

Cutting from below = Cutting on the push stroke.

Cutting on the push stroke increases the risk of kickback. 
See instructions under the heading How to avoid 
kickback.

Cutting = General term for cutting through wood.

Limbing = Cutting branches off a felled tree.

Splitting = When the object you are cutting breaks off 
before the cut is complete.

1

Make sure the cutting equipment will not jam in the 
cut.

2

Make sure the object you are cutting will not split.

3

Make sure the chain will not strike the ground or any 
other object during or after cutting.

4

Is there a risk of kickback?

5

Do the conditions and surrounding terrain affect how 
safely you can stand and move about?

Two factors decide whether the chain will jam or the object 
that you are cutting will split: the first is how the object is 
supported before and after cutting, and the second is 
whether it is in tension.

In most cases you can avoid these problems by cutting in 
two stages; from the top and from the bottom. You need to 
support the object so that it will not trap the chain or split 
during cutting.

The following instructions describe how to handle the 
commonest situations you are likely to encounter when 
using a chain saw.

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.

   - If it is possible (can you turn the log?) stop cutting about 
2/3 of the way through the log.

   - Turn the log and finish the cut from the opposite side.

The log is supported at one end. There is a high risk 
that it will split.
