Spiked bumper
Spiked bumper
– Dig the spiked bumper into the log and use it as a
pivot. Cut with an arched motion to make the bar
penetrate the wood.
– Repeat several times if necessary, changing the point
where you plant the spiked bumper.
– When bucking on a slope, always stand on the uphill
side of the log. When cutting through the log,
maintain control by releasing the cutting pressure
near the end of the cut without relaxing your grip on
the chain saw handles. Do not 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.
