Those who work with chainsaws are oftentimes referred to as sawyers. More experience helps sawyers avoid getting stuck in a bind, which is where the chainsaw gets pinched between two pieces of wood. Binds happen when either forces in the tree’s tissue or external forces like gravity stop the chain’s movement mid-cut. This can slow down productivity and lead to more injuries if care is not taken to assess what binds will take place before beginning a cut. Once comfortable with these techniques, the crew was ready to begin learning how to fell trees.
