Ground Cutting Techniques
Always make cuts in the correct sequence. Otherwise the chainsaw may get pinched or kick
back may occur.
1. First cut is a shallow cut to create clearance for the second, third cuts to follow.
2. Second cut is approximately twice the depth of the first cut or until or just before the
clearance is reduced by compression of the log.
3. Cuts are to continue progressively along the log until you have reached the bottom of
the log, taking care not to allow the space to be reduced too much will result in pinching of
the chainsaw. Do not make contact with the earth as it will cause signifcant damage to the
chain, bar and sprocket.
Beware of log rolling, falling or moving
unpredictable. Ensure the log is secured
&/or you have a clear working area incase
a quick escape is needed.
If you are unsure of how to safely use the
chainsaw it is recommended you seek
professional training.
