underbucking (2) the lower 2/3 to meet the first cut. 
When bucking on a slope always stand on the uphill side of the log, as 

illustrated in Figure 6. When “cutting through”, to maintain complete control 

release 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 tree to tree.
