This custom chain saw is notoriously fast and powerful, but extreme power requires extra care. Follow these safety guidelines and follow our smart usage tips to prevent injuries.

A 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 and at least one coagulation bandage on hand.
Therefore, no matter what kind of chain saw you are using, whether it is a custom chain saw or a Straight chain saw, you must pay attention to the method of use and safe use.
