About Chainsaws FAQ
How do I learn to operate a saw?
There are many great resources on the Internet that can help you operate your saw. The very, very BEST way is to be instructed by an expert. Your state forestry association just may have or know of local training and if you buy from a local dealer, they will be glad to help you (another reason to buy from a local dealer).
There also are videos on the market that do a reasonable job teaching the essentials of chainsaw operation. I particularly am impressed with Stihl's beginner chainsaw video. It is very reasonably priced and cover the subject to perfection.I would start by reviewing these sites from About Forestry. Review all the links provided:
