1. Log supported along entire length: Cut from
top (overbuck), being careful to avoid cutting into
the ground (Fig. 13A).
2. Log supported on 1 end: First, cut from
bottom (underbuck) 1/3 diameter of log to avoid
splintering. Second, cut from above (overbuck) to
meet fi rst cut and avoid pinching (Fig. 13B).
3. Log supported on both ends: First, overbuck
1/3 diameter of log to avoid splintering. Second,
underbuck to meet fi rst cut and avoid pinching
(Fig. 13C).
•
The best way to hold a log while bucking is
to use a sawhorse. When this is not possible,
the log should be raised and supported by the
limb stumps or by using supporting logs. Be
sure the log being cut is securely supported.
Bucking using a sawhorse (Fig. 14)
For personal safety and ease of cutting, the cor-
rect position for vertical bucking is essential.
A. Hold the saw fi rmly with both hands and keep
the saw to the right of your body while cutting.
B. Keep the left arm as straight as possible.
C. Keep weight on both feet.
Caution: When working with the saw, always
make sure that the saw chain and chain bar are
suffi ciently lubricated.

and ordering of spare parts
Disconnect the spark plug boot before doing any
cleaning and maintenance work!
7.1 Cleaning
•
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it with compressed air at low
pressure.
•
We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished
using it.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these could
attack the plastic parts of the equipment. En-
sure that no water can seep into the device.
