When bucking on a slope always stand on the uphill side of the log, as illustrated. W
hen “cutting through”, to
maintain complete control, release the cutting pressure near the end of the cut without relaxing your grip on
the chainsaw handles. Don’t let the chain contact the ground. After completing the cut, wait for the saw chain
to stop, before you move the chainsaw. Always stop the motor before moving from tree to tree
