Any Tips?

[West Texas]

Never use the chainsaw alone when felling or limbing a tree; for about a 100 reasons. This is true, even when you become good at it; its best to have help nearby. A simple thing of a limb pinching the bar and being unable to remove it without help; to the extreme of needing emergency help. If a tree falls in a forest and no one hears it, does it make a noise? Well if you are using that saw alone in the woods and ever need help, who will hear your cry? Play it safe. Never miss a chance to play it safe.

As you have probably already read do not use the tip to cut. Try to cut your work piece as close to the engine as possible and use your dawgs for leverage. Always use a sharp chain and a sharp brain. You will use a lot less energy! Think safety always!
