nOTE: Use a saw horse (Fig. O) whenever possible. When
using a saw horse, this is strongly recommended whenever
possible. Position the log in a stable position. Always cut on
the outside of the saw horse arms.

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.

Fig. s- 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 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 cut
to cut.
