Learn to operate a chain saw safely and effectively and without getting hurt with these tips from Lowe’s experts.

Wear protective clothing and make sure your chainsaw chain is sharp and the chain saw is well tuned.

To start a cold engine, place the chainsaw on a flat surface on the ground. Push the chain brake for until in engages. Pull the start choke control to the on position. Push the decompression valve. Press the purge bulb about 6 times. Hold the front handle with your left hand, put your right foot on the rear handle of the chainsaw. Put the starting handle with your right hand until the saw ignites. Push the choke control. Squeeze the throttle quickly to disengage the high idle. To stop the saw, turn off the ignition switch.

To make a cut, hold the front handle with your left hand and grab the rear handle with your right. Pull back the chain brake and squeeze the throttle. The chainsaw cuts best at full throttle. Try to avoid cutting with the saw tip to avoid kickback.

Felling trees before a storm can help prevent hurricane damage. Plan the direction of the fall and your escape route. Cut a notch in your tree with the chainsaw. Make a horizontal cut along the back side to fell the tree.

Limb and buck your felled tree. Limb uprooted trees at the base and cut up the tree. For logs on the ground, cut most of the way and turn the log so the bladed doesn’t contact the ground. For logs supported on one end, cut 1/3 of the way up from the bottom and cut the rest from the top. For logs supported on both ends, cut part of the way from the top, then cut the rest from the bottom up.
