For severing stem from root plate step cut, C, D, J, V, storm cut or angled severing cut. If finishing with any type of step make sure saw is on slow moving side to prevent it from being thrown. Cut long log if necessary. For heavy leaners with loose roots avoid dogtooth as they can split downwards as you are cutting towards the back causing back roots to rip from the ground throwing you forward. Up to 45 degree lean use coos bay with small or no front sink or reverse double V and fast back cut. If oversize possibly do a conventional double V with a chevron bore at the rear and a fast back cut. More than 45 degree lean then compression only cut is a good option. Whatever you are doing in windblow make sure you have good escape routes sorted and expect the unexpected. Have fun but stay safe.

Make sure the bar is dressed and the chain is well sharpened. Use your thumb on the trigger as it keeps the bar level and stops the nose from dipping. Give it a try and good luck with the CS32.

Thanks for all the PMs about the cordwood. It's now been sold.

Cut some and delivered last week. Most of it is well seasoned. Most recent felled stuff is in a different stack - didn't want to mix green and seasoned.

Hi Sam PM me as I am a Lantra trainer based in the Forest of Dean and I am am sure we can arrange something local.

Still got my old 61 in the shed. Let it out for a play now and again and always amazed at its power for an old saw. A bit old school but none the worse for it. Well done on getting your CS30 and 31.

Could be worn sprocket if you have a spur sprocket or splines on the clutch drum if running rim sprocket.
