2) on the right side, hold the saw with the right hand on either handle and thrust the saw away
from the body while holding the pull starter cord in the left hand.
The chain brake should always be engaged before lowering a running saw onto its strop.
Operators should always check the saw has sufficient fuel before undertaking critical cuts.
5.10- One-hand use of the chainsaw
Operators should not use tree service chainsaws one-handed in
places of unstable work positioning or in preference to a handsaw
when cutting small diameter wood at the branch tips.
Tree service chainsaws should only be used one-handed where:
- the operator cannot gain a work position enabling two-handed
use; and
- they need to support their working position with one hand; and
- the saw is being used at full stretch, at right angles to and out of
line with the operator's body.
5.11- Operators should never:
- cut with the kickback zone at the tip of the chainsaw guide bar,
- 'hold and cut' sections,
- Attempt to catch falling sections.
5.12- Freeing a trapped saw
If the saw should become trapped during cutting, operators should:
- switch off the saw and attach it securely to the tree inboard (i.e. towards the truck side) of the cut
or to a separate tool line;
- pull the saw from the kerf whilst lifting the branch as necessary;
- if necessary, use a handsaw or second chain saw to release the trapped saw by cutting a minimum
of 30cm away from the trapped saw.
Whether a handsaw or a chainsaw is used to free a stuck saw, the release cuts should always be
outboard (toward the tips of the branch), in order to prevent the saw being taken with the section
and further complicating the situation.
5.13- Bucking and Limbing
WARNING - Always ensure your foothold. Do not stand on the log.
- Be alert to the rolling over of a cut log. Especially when working on a slope,
stand on the uphill side of the log.
- Follow the instructions in "For Safe Operation" to avoid kickback of the saw.
Before starting work, check the direction of bending force inside the log to be cut.
Always finish cutting from the opposite side of the bending direction to prevent the guide bar from
being caught in the cut.
(a) Cutting the limbs of Fallen Tree
First check to which side the limb is bent.
Then make the initial cut from the bent side and finish by sawing
from the opposite side.
WARNING - Be alert to the springing back of a cut limb.
