of the chain saw behind the
area of the initial cut as shown in Figure O.
3. Turn the chain saw on then rotate the saw chain and bar
down into the tree, using the spike as a hinge.
4. Once the chain saw gets to a 45° angle, level the chain
saw 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.
