| | Chain Saw Safety Tips |
 | | Although the suggestions concern the power chain saw, other cutting tools, such as axes and splitting mauls, are needed to harvest timber, and they, too, must be used with caution. |
 | | Most chain saws are designed to operate the throttle with the right index finger; the left-handed person who tries to control the throttle with the left index finger will have a limited amount of the front handlebar to grasp comfortably and safely, and the chain will be running closer to the body. |
 | | Electric-powered chain saws are rarely used in the woods; they are practical around the home, where they are used to fell, buck, limb, and prune trees. |
