1. Always start a cut with the saw chain running at
full speed.
2. Place the bottom spike
area of the initial cut as shown below.
3. Turn the chainsaw on then rotate the saw chain and bar
down into the tree, using the spike as a hinge.
4. Once the chainsaw gets to a 45 ° angle, level the
chainsaw again and repeat steps until you cut fully through.
5. When the tree is supported along its entire length, make
a cut from the top (overbuck), but avoid cutting the earth as
this will dull your saw quickly.

• When on a slope always stand on the uphill side of the
log. When "cutting through", to maintain complete control
reduce the cutting pressure near the end of the cut without
relaxing your grip on the chain saw handles. Don't 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 cut to cut.
