5. Use the Bumper Spikes as a leverage point while
cutting. (See Fig. K)

WARNING: When cutting a limb that is
under tension, use extreme caution. Be alert
for wood springing back. When wood tension
is released, limb could spring back and strike
operator causing severe injury or death.
When sawing logs supported on both ends, start the
cut from above(Y) about 1/3 of the diameter into the
log (overbuck) and then finish the cut (Z) from below, in
order to avoid contact of the chain saw with the ground.
When sawing logs supported on only one end, start the
cut from below (Y) about 1/3 of the diameter into the log
(underbuck) and finish the cut from above (Z) in order to
avoid log splitting or jamming of the chain saw.
