When bucking on a slope always stand on the uphill side of the log. To maintain complete
control of the chainsaw when cutting through the log, release the cutting pressure near the end
of the cut without relaxing your grip on the chainsaw handles. Don’t let the chain contact the
ground. After completing the cut wait for the saw chain to stop before you move the chainsaw.
Always stop the motor before moving from tree to tree.

CUTTING SPRINGPOLES
A springpole is any log, branch, rooted stump, or sapling which is bent under tension by other
wood so that it springs back if the wood holding it is cut or removed. On a fallen tree, a rooted
stump has a high potential of springing back to the upright position during the bucking cut to
separate the log from the stump. Watch out for springpoles — they are dangerous.

WARNING: If the limbs to be pruned are above chest height, hire a
professional to perform the pruning.

WARNING: Springpoles are dangerous and could strike the
operator, causing the operator to lose control of the chainsaw.
This could result in severe or fatal injury to the operator.
