Cutting Logs
When cutting a pile of logs, remove each log from the pile and
place on sawbench or prop up before cutting individually.
Remove the cut pieces from the cutting area. Leaving them
scattered around the work area increases the risk of kickback,
or of losing your balance while working.
Crosscutting/bucking
Before starting to cut through the log, try to forsee what will
happen. Look out for stresses in the log and cut through in
such a manner that the guide bar will not jam.
When the log is supported along its entire length, as
illustrated, cut from the top (overbuck).
Crosscutting logs, pressure on top
When the log is supported on both ends as illustrated, cut 1/3
of that diameter from the top overbuck. Then make the finished
cut by underbucking the lower 2/3 to meet the first cut.
Crosscutting logs, pressure on bottom.
When the log is supported at both ends as illustrated, cut 1/3
of that diameter from the underside (underbuck). Then make
the finished cut by overbucking to meet the first cut.
When bucking on a slope, always stand on the uphill side of
the log. When making the final cut, in order to maintain control,
ease up on cutting pressure near the end of the cut without
relaxing your grip on the chain saw. Do not let the chain
contact the ground. After completing the cut, wait for the
chain to stop before moving the chain saw.
Always stop the motor before moving from tree to tree.
Cutting logs, shrubs, brush, etc.
Do not use your chain saw to cut shrubs, brush etc.
The possibility of kickback is high. If the stands are close
together, it might be impossible to avoid contact with the
kickback zone.
A brush cutter has been specially designed for small, flimsy
objects, and may be used for all types of clearing operations.
Your dealer will be happy to show how a brush cutter may be
of value to you.
WARNING!
Never attempt to cut two logs lying together or logs
which are piled up.
Doing so drastically increases the risk of kickback and
serious or fatal injury.
STOP
IMPORTANT !
•
It is important to make sure your footing is firm and
your weight is evenly distributed on both feet.
•
Whenever possible, the log should be raised and
supported by the use of limbs or chocks.
•
Follow these simple direction for easy cutting.
WARNING!
Do not use a chain saw to cut shrubs, brush etc.
The risk of kickback is high and kickbacks can cause
fatal injury. If trunks are close, it may be impossible to
avoid contact with the kickback zone. Use a brush
cutter or other tool designed for the purpose.
