Proper Cutting Stance (Fig. 15)
◾
Both feet should be on solid ground,
with weight evenly spread between
them.
◾
The left arm should be straight,
with the elbow locked. This helps to
withstand the forces generated by
kickback.
◾
Your body should always be to the
left of the chain line.
CUTTING
Basic Cutting
WARNING:
your footing and hold the chain saw
firmly with both hands while the motor
is running.
Practice cutting a few small logs using the following technique to get the "feel" of using
your saw before you begin a major sawing operation.
1. Always hold the product firmly with both hands: front handle with the left hand
and rear handle with the right hand. Fully grip both handles at all times during
operation. Never operate the product using only one hand.
2. Take the proper stance in front of the wood with the saw off.
3. Press the locking tongue and squeeze the trigger switch to start the chain saw.
Let the chain reach the full speed before beginning the cut.
4. Begin cutting by lightly pressing the guide bar against the wood. Use only light
pressure, letting the saw do the work. Do not force the chain saw (apply light and
continuous pressure in order to avoid overheating the blade tips).
5. Maintain a steady speed throughout the cut, releasing pressure just before the
end of the cut.
6. Be careful when reaching the end of the cut. The weight of the chain saw may
change unexpectedly as it cuts free from the wood. This can cause accidents to
the legs and feet.
