Cutting Techniques
Cutting Techniques Overview
Generally only the upper and lower edges of the guide bar and the lower quadrant of the guide
bar nose should be used when cutting. Contact with the tip of the bar should be avoided, this
will lessen the chance of kick-back.
The chainsaw will perform best when not placed under undue pressure, with the engine
operating at maximum power output, not necessarily maximum rpm.
Control of the chainsaw must be maintained by having a firm two-handed grip, keeping the
engine close to the body, keeping a secure footing and a well balanced stance.
The chainsaw should never be operated above shoulder height.
Always apply the chain brake when not cutting. If not in use the chain brake and bar cover
should be fitted.
All work must be carried out in a calm, safe manner with the work area assessed to be safe.
Cutting techniques can be broken up into three basic techniques (1) felling, (2) limbing, (3)
ripping. The Victa chainsaw is only designed for the use in (2) limbing, (3) ripping. Ensure the
chainsaw is only used for these purposes, failure to do so will void the warranty and could cause
harm to yourself or others.
