That sounds like a sensible solution with a 2X4. Don't think a 2X6 will fit through but now that I have the idea I can measure and cut to fit on my band-saw. Thanks.

Even at my age when I start cutting I can outlast any of the batteries and of course I'm set in my ways and partial to real chainsaws. But thanks for the thought.
lock the chain brake and IF you want to slip a cover over the chain and practice with the OFF switch OFF..no fuel..Just to get the hang of it..I've been an instructor for years on some jobs.. IF you as I said,, NO fuel....Switch off Chain brake Locked practice this a few times just to become familiar with the idea, you will have a LOT better luck.. IN FACT, you could Remove the Chain bolt the BAR on the saw add fuel and Crank it like that a few times. BE safe not sorry.. Oh but how many times have we heard that.. Smile.. I wish someone had told me before I married..Ha. Ha..on that note, as a counselor I recently told a 47 year old guy just divorced with two kids,, Get a vasectomy..NOW that's an idea. Hold the bar between your legs..Crank the saw and fix yourself at the same time. Ha. Ha. That's a JOKE.. PLease NO ONE take that advice to heart..it's gonna hurt or kill you..Sadly, I must add that disclaimer.... IT"S silly old man humor.... good luck....
I'd recommend cutting a slight notch in the flat part of the board to fit the handle so the board don''ty slip off the handle..The board is 1.5 inches thick. Just a slight notch might work..Safety..yes.. right..
