custom chain saw are notoriously fast and powerful, but extreme forces require extra care. Follow these safety guidelines and follow our smart usage tips to prevent injuries.

A custom chain saw is a portable electric tool that cuts wood through a fast-moving chain that rotates around a guide rod. It can trim, fell, trim and bend trees in a short time. It is also listed as the most dangerous power tool available without permission.

Although it is designed to cut with the top or bottom of the blade, almost anything that comes into contact with the upper part of the end of the blade (called the recoil zone) will change the cutting momentum and cause the saw to hit you back. Recoil may cause catastrophic damage, so users must take extra precautions and always follow the correct way of using the chainsaw to avoid disasters.

Before you pick up any chainsaw (high or low power, petrol or electric), be sure to take the risks seriously.

Basic safety tips for beginners or experienced chainsaw users
You can operate the chain saw more safely and minimize the chance of recoil by keeping the chain sharp and tensioned and always cutting below shoulder height.

Similarly, today’s low-power chain saws (including electric models)—not developed for professional loggers, but for DIYers who want to get their own firewood and keep their property trimmed—rely on low rebate chains. The fiber grabbed during the cycle has less recoil zone, which minimizes the possibility of recoil.

Before attempting to operate the chain saw, familiarize yourself with the safety precautions reviewed here, and then follow our practical skills for safe and effective cutting.

Before you start
Whether you are learning how to use a chain saw for the first time, or in your daily work, never operate this power tool alone. When something goes wrong, it happens very quickly. Having a friend nearby can save your life. If you work in the woods, please set up traffic safety signs next to your car. Make sure someone knows where you are and when you plan to return. There is a complete first aid kit with at least one coagulation bandage on hand.

Wear all necessary personal protective equipment, including leg guards, chainsaw helmet with face shield, gloves, and steel-toed boots or logging boots. Do not wear loose clothing, as it may be caught by serrations.

Find the correct posture to hold the saw
Find a comfortable posture and keep your feet firmly fixed while working. Hold the chainsaw with two hands at an angle or slightly to one side instead of directly in front of you to prevent recoil.

Think before you cut
Do not operate the Straight chain saw on the ladder, and do not cut the limbs higher than the shoulder. (If you want to cut taller things, consider a completely different tool: a manual wire saw, usually called a pocket chain saw.) To remove the lower branches and supporting roots before cutting down the tree, slice down and use traction Chain-That is the part of the chain that wraps the bottom of the bar. If the tree is on a slope, always go uphill from it.

In addition, please pay attention to the location of all power cords, and do not cut trees where there are utility lines, vehicles, buildings, especially people within half the length of two trees.

Use the correct chainsaw
Use a Straight chain saw of the right size for this job. If you rent a chain saw, please discuss the scope of work with the staff to understand their recommended motor size, because the blade size is related to the engine horsepower. Generally speaking, the blade should be two inches longer than the wood it cuts. Light cutting of firewood, etc. can be done with a 14-inch blade, and a 16 to 20-inch blade is suitable for medium-sized cutting. The longer the blade, the more difficult it is to control, so novices should stick to blades less than 20 inches in length.
