Stand on uphill side when cutting because log may roll
When the log is supported on both ends, cut 1/3 the diameter from the top (overbuck) (Figure-Log
supported both ends). Then make the nished cut by underbucking the lower 2/3 to meet the rst
cut.
When bucking on a slope always stand on the uphill side of the log (Figure-Bucking a log).
To maintain complete control when cutting through a log, release the cutting pressure near the
end of the cut without relaxing your grip on the chain saw handles. Don’t let the chain contact the
ground. After completing the cut, wait for the saw chain to stop before you move the chain saw.
Always stop the motor before moving from tree to tree.
