How to Use the Chainsaw Introduction WARNING! Before attempting to use the chainsaw, it is imperative that you undertake professional training by an accredited body.

Cutting and sawing with a chainsaw can be very dangerous if undertaken without proper training.
How to Use the Chainsaw Felling Direction of Fall Notching Cut Felling Cut Felling is the type of cut used to cut down trees. Whereas it may be possible to cut down small trees (6-7 inches in diameter) with a single straight through cut, larger trees require a felling cut. If this type of cut is made it is performed in two stages. The first stage is the notching cut which determines the direction the tree will fall. The second stage is the felling cut which weakens the tree trunk and causes it to fall.
How to Use the Chainsaw Felling (continued) WARNING! Do not cut down a tree during high or changing winds or if there is a danger to property. Consult a tree professional. Do not cut down a tree if there is danger of striking utility wires; notify the utility company before making any cuts. WARNING! Never walk in front of a tree that has been notched. Make the felling cut (D) from the other side of the tree and 1.5-2.0 inches (3-5cm) above the edge of the notch (C). Never saw completely through the trunk.
How to Use the Chainsaw Limbing This type of cut is used to remove small branches from a felled or fallen tree. Cuts can be made horizontally or vertically to the bottom of a branch. Usually limbing cuts are performed when a tree trunk has been cut into small manageable lengths using a bucking cut. Branches under tension should be cut from the bottom up to avoid binding the chainsaw.
How to Use the Chainsaw Bucking Saw Horse A bucking cut is used to cut a fallen or felled tree into small manageable lengths or logs. Usually the tree trunk will be supported at one end, both ends or along its entire length. Often this type of cut is performed using a sawhorse which provides all the required support to keep the trunk stable. WARNING! This chainsaw must only be used for light domestic applications such as sawing wood in your own garden.
