Undercutting

Undercutting involves cutting on the underside of the log with top of saw against the log. When undercutting use light upward pressure. Hold saw firmly and maintain control. The saw will tend to push back toward you.

WARNING: Never turn saw upside down to undercut. The saw cannot be controlled in this position.

Always make your first cut on the com- pression side of the log. The compres- sion side of the log is where the pressure of the log’s weight is concentrated.

LIMBING AND PRUNING

WARNING: Be alert for and guard against kickback. Do not allow the mov- ing chain to contact any other branches or objects at the nose of the guide bar when limbing or pruning. Allowing such contact can result in serious injury.

WARNING: Never climb into a tree to limb or prune. Do not stand on lad- ders, platforms, a log, or in any position which can cause you to lose your bal- ance or control of the saw.

IMPORTANT POINTS

S Watch out for springpoles. Spring- poles are small size limbs which can whip toward you or pull you off bal- ance. Use extreme caution when cut- ting small size limbs.

S Be alert for springback from any branches that are bent or under pres- sure. Avoid being struck by the branch or the saw when the tension in the wood fibers is released.

S Frequently clear branches out of the way to avoid tripping over them.
