pressure of the log's weight is concentrated.
BUCKING WITHOUT A SUPPORT
1. Overcut through 1/3 of the diameter of the log.
2. Roll the log over and finish with a second overcut.
NOTE: Watch for logs with a compression side to
prevent the saw from pinching.
BUCKING USING A LOG OR SUPPORT
STAND
1. Make the first cut on the compression side of the
log. Your first cut should extend 1/3 of the diameter
of the log.
2. Finish with your second cut.

LIMBING AND PRUNING

a WARNING! Be alert for and guard against
kickback. Do not allow the moving chain to
contact any other branches or objects at
the nose of the guide bar when limbing or
pruning. Allowing such contact can result in
serious injury.
a WARNING! Never climb into a tree to limb or
prune. Do not stand on ladders, platforms, a
log, or in any position which can cause you
to lose your balance or control of the saw.
