Chain Saw Operation and Maintenance

Abstract

The chain saw is one of the most useful and timesaving power tools ever made. It is also one of the most dangerous. A chain saw should be picked for the main cutting jobs it is to do. Since the bar saw is the type best suited for general use, this publication is written for bar-type chain saws. Considerations in the selection, operation, and maintenance of bar saws are included. Since there is considerable variation among saws and their use, the reader is advised to study details about a specific brand and model in the owner's manual. Follow the manual's suggested operating instructions.
