Your holding the chainsaw upside down during the falling cut. The bar should be under the motor so the gravity feed bar oilier can lube the bar...Check with your saw shop..

@bboats2 False. That saw has an oil pump, like all saws produced these days.

@yamimm700 sharpening your own chain is not hard once you have the right technique packed down. I find for most people it takes a good amount of time and practice to almost perfect the technique though.

ErochowRegardless of what the others say you did a fine job on the cuts you made I cut all my trees the same way in the bush and out and for those who ask I cut on avrage about75-125cord of wood a year the saddlecut is still one of the best as it helps to prevent the tree from going back on you the only thing is I start my sadle higher which gives you a larger kerf in the middle as for wedgeing you still can wedge on a cut like that if its a mater of fact its easer to do and you can use a sledge
