I'd have thought that one way would cover you in chippings and also pull you
into the tree if it jammed, but most Electric ones do not have the oomph for
that sort of thing. I've only handled one once, frightened the daylights out
of me, even when I could see.

If I am holding the chainsaw in front of me with the `chain` pointing
away. So on the righthand side the chain moves away from me, then coming
down the other side the `chain` is moving towards me.
Does it make any difference from a safety point of view which side I cut
with left or right?
