In most cases you can avoid these problems by cutting in two
stages; from the top and from the bottom. You need to support
the object so that it will not trap the chain or split during
cutting.
WARNING! If the chain jams in the cut: stop
!
the engine! Don't try to pull the chain saw
free. If you do you may be injured by the
chain when the chain saw suddenly breaks
free. Use a lever to open up the cut and free
the chain saw.
The following instructions describe how to handle the
commonest situations you are likely to encounter when using
a chain saw.
Cutting
The log is lying on the ground. There is little risk of the
chain jamming or the object splitting. However there is a risk
that the chain will touch the ground when you finish the cut.
Cut all the way through the log from above. Avoid letting the
chain touch the ground as you finish the cut. Maintain full
throttle but be prepared for what might happen.
If it is possible (can you turn the log?) stop cutting about 2/3
of the way through the log.
Turn the log and finish the cut from the opposite side.
The log is supported at one end. There is a high risk that it
will split.

approach as for cutting.
Cut difficult branches piece by piece.
