Perform Safe Cutting on a Suspended Log

What happens here

When cutting a suspended log, always ensure the chain brake is engaged before approaching and disengaged only when actively cutting. Position yourself to the side of the log, not directly underneath it. Allow the weight of the saw to pull it through the cut; avoid pushing or forcing the saw, as this can increase the risk of kickback. As soon as the cut is complete, re-engage the chain brake immediately. This quick action secures the chain and prevents it from moving accidentally while you reposition or move the saw.

Goal: This step outlines the safe procedure for cutting a suspended log, emphasizing the chain brake and letting the saw's weight cut.
