Left hand forward on the test always, after that get a full wrap handle and you can use it left handed

You will have to use your left hand on the front handle & right hand on the rear handle. Not really away round it really!

I'm left handed, use a two handled saw in both hands, have done forever. Top handle I use right handed nearly always. Random.

There is good reason to use saws right handed, all the safety features work best that way. But I'm still here and am sure I'm not alone using it all wrong!

For a course you must use it with the right hand on the throttle, apart from anything you won't be able to fell anything close to the ground with your left hand on the trigger!

It MUST be used right handed for all the assessment.

A definite fail if swapped hands

Or at least it should be

If your left eye is your leading eye, you will need to learn to compensate:001_smile:
