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.
