Make sure you start your cut where limb will not pinch saw
during cutting. To avoid pinching, start cut on freely hanging
limbs from above limb, start cut on limbs under tension
from under limb, if pinch occurs, turn saw off, lift limb, and
remove saw.
Cutting logs
Cutting a log resting on the two extremities first cut 1/3 of
a diameter from the top. Next cut from below using the top
of the bar, this will avoid pinching of the bar in wood, Avoid
touching the ground with the bar.
Fall a tree
Before felling a tree, consider carefully all conditions
including the intended direction of the fall, the natural lean of
the tree, surrounding trees and obstacles, the wind direction
and speed.
Directional cut
Cut a wedge (1/3 -1/2 of tree diameter) out of the trunk on
the side which you want the tree to fall.
Felling cut
Cut into the trunk form the other side 1"-2" / 3-6cm above
the wedge.
Use a felling wedge to help control felling and prevent
binding the guide bar and saw chain in the cut.
