1. 23 OPERATING YOUR CHAIN SAW BUCKING WITH A WEDGE See Figure 19 If the wood diameter is large enough for you to insert a soft bucking wedge without touching the chain you should use the wedge to hold the cut open to prevent pinching BUCKING LOGS UNDER STRESS See Figure 20 Make the first bucking cut 1 3 of the way through the log and finish with a 2 3 cut on the opposite side As you cut the log it will tend to bend The saw can become pinched or hung in the log if you make the first cut deeper than 1 3 of the diameter of the log Give special attention to logs under stress to prevent the bar and chain from pinching OVERBUCKING See Figure 21 Begin on the top side of the log with the bottom of the saw against the log exert light pressure downward Note that the saw will tend to pull away from you UNDERBUCKING See Figure 22 Begin on the under side of the log with the top of the saw against the log exert light pressure upward During under bucking the saw will tend to push back at you Be prepared for this reaction and hold the saw firmly to maintain control LOG SUPPORTED AT ONE END LOAD FINISHING CUT 1ST CUT 1 3 DIA LOG SUPPORTED AT BOTH ENDS LOAD 1ST CUT 1 3 DIA FINISHING CUT Fig 20 OVERBUCKING 5 UNDERBUCKING OPERATING YOUR CHAIN SAW LIMBING See Figure 22 Limbing is removing branches from a fallen tree Work slowly keeping both hands on the chain saw with a firm grip Alway2. REMOVING BUTTRESS ROOTS See Figure 16 A buttress root is a large root extending from the trunk of the tree above the ground Remove large buttress roots prior to felling Make the horizontal cut into the buttress first followed by the vertical cut Remove the resulting loose section from the work area Follow the correct tree felling procedure as stated in Proper Procedure For Tree Felling after you have removed the large buttress roots BUCKING See Figure 17 Bucking is the term used for cutting a fallen tree to the desired log length Always make sure your footing is secure and your weight is distributed evenly on both feet Cut only one log at a time Support small logs on a saw horse or another log while bucking e Keep a clear cutting area Make sure that no objects can contact the guide bar nose and chain during cutting this can cause kickback Refer to Kickback earlier in this manual When bucking on a slope always stand on the uphill side of the log To maintain complete control of the chain saw when cutting through the log release the cutting pressure near the end of the cut without relaxing your grip on the chain saw handles Do not 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 KICKBACK Vertical Cut Loose Section Horizontal Cut
3. Maintain a proper grip on the saw whenever the motor is running The fingers should encircle the handle and the thumb is wrapped under the handlebar This grip is least likely to be broken by a kickback or other sudden reaction of the saw Any grip in which the thumb and fingers are on the same side of the handle is dangerous because a slight kick of the saw can cause loss of control A WARNING Never use a left handed cross handed grip or any stance that would place your body or arm across the chain line PROPER HAND Proper Grip GRIP POSITION AWARNING DO NOT operate the switch trigger with your left hand and hold the front handle with your right hand Never allow any part of your body to be in the chain line while operating a saw IMPROPER GRIP 17 OPERATING YOUR CHAIN SAW PROPER CUTTING STANCE See Figure 10 Balance your weight with both feet on solid ground Keep left arm with elbow locked in a straight arm position to withstand any kickback force Keep your body to the left of the chain line Keep your thumb on underside of handlebar Chain Line Straight Arm THUMB ON UNDERSIDE OF HANDLE BAR 18 OPERATING YOUR CHAIN SAW BASIC OPERATING CUTTING PROCEDURES Practice cutting a few small logs using the following technique to get the feel of using the saw before you begin a major sawing operation Take the proper stance in front of the wood with the saw id
