Squeeze the throttle trigger and al- low the engine to reach full speed before cutting. Begin cutting with the saw frame against the log. Keep the engine at full speed the en- tire time you are cutting. Allow the chain to cut for you. Exert only light downward pressure. - Page 11 NOTE: Before felling cut is complete, use wedges to open the cut if necessary to control the direction of fall. To avoid kickback and chain damage, use wood or plastic wedges, but never steel or iron wedges.
