Proper Cutting Stance (Fig. 17)
◾
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:
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. Take the proper stance in front of the wood with the saw off.
2. Press the chain speed button to select a desired chain speed. Press the lock-off
button and squeeze the trigger switch to start the chain saw. Let the chain reach
the full speed before beginning the cut.
3. Begin cutting by lightly pressing the guide bar against the wood. Use only light
pressure, letting the saw do the work.
4. Maintain a steady speed throughout the cut, releasing pressure just before the
end of the cut.
5. Release the trigger switch as soon as the cut is completed, allowing the chain to
stop.
WARNING:
release the trigger switch; remove the saw chain and guide bar from the wood, then
restart the chain saw.
