When you hold on too tight you will get sore hands.
you want to hold on just enough to keep it steady, most people inexperienced get nervous and squeeze really hard which will result in sore hands.
once you break into the tree, let the saw do the work and just guide it through.
anyone who was worked with one will tell you the same.

i guess i never really thought about the inexperienced person using it. i had worked with two-strokes for at least 18 months before i used a chainsaw so i pretty much had the hang of it by then.
i've also had problems with machines that causes them to vibrate excessively (and painfully), so i suppose it could have gone either way. my point was that when i hold a running chainsaw i am usually quite careful to make sure that i don't loosen my grip so much that i drop it.
