3. CHAINSAW CUTTING HINTS & TIPS
PLHA-001
•Do not force the saw into the cut. Apply only light pressure
whilst running the chain.
• If the saw chain gets caught in the cut, do not try to remove it by
twisting the guide bar or pulling forcibly. Use a lever or wedge to
open up the cut so that the saw chain is freed.
• Keep your left arm with elbow locked in a “straight arm” position
to withstand any kickback force.
• While cutting, always:
– Run the chainsaw motor at
full speed. This makes the job
safer, as there is less chance
of pull-in or kick-back.
– Position your body to the left
of the chainsaw so if it kicks
back uncontrollably, it goes
over your right shoulder, never
stand in the cutting line of the
saw.
– Keep a firm grip with your
left hand on the front handle, with your thumb securely below the
handle.
1. Press the bucking spikes against the timber ensuring the chain is
not making contact with the material being cut.
2. Start cutting by holding the
chainsaw by the front handle
and raising the rear handle.
3. If you cannot cut the timber
in a single stroke, apply
light pressure to the front
handle and continue sawing,
draw the chainsaw back a
little then apply the bucking
spikes a little lower and
finish the cut by raising the
rear handle.
WARNING! WEAR SAFETY GLASSES AND HEARING
PROTECTION. FURTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR
HEAD, HANDS, LEGS AND FEET IS RECOMMENDED.
ADEQUATE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING WILL REDUCE
PERSONAL INJURY BY FLYING DEBRIS OR
ACCIDENTAL CONTACT WITH THE SAW CHAIN.
4. Withdraw the chainsaw from
the cut while the chain is
still running.
