Re: Chainsaw safe usage As has said, I will second.
But add: -Have a second chain available that is sharpened.
-Wear hearing protection
-Wear good Footwear
-Have a good stance in footing when cutting
-Use ropes to hold branches/limbs/trunks
-Have a spotter on the questionable cuts and have them
use a rope/s to guide the cut wood
-Take breaks, use time to study the next cuts
-Use good ladder and do not overload its rating
-Do not cut if tired or muscles cannot control saw
-Drink Beer after done cutting
-Consider hiring a logger to cut the more difficult cuts.
edit: Make sure the Chain is properly sharpened. When first using a chainsaw - the one I was using was not and it had the tendency to 'buck/jump' when hitting a knot or a harder piece ot the log. This is bad whether the wood is on the ground or you are cutting above ground or above head.
