STAND ON UPHILL
SIDE WHEN CUTTING
BECAUSE LOG MAY ROLL
13.Figure 11
When bucking on a slope, always stand on the uphill side of the log. When “cutting through”, to maintain complete control release the cutting pressure near the end of the cut without relaxing your grip on the Chain Saw Handles. Do not allow the Saw Chain (72) to contact the ground. After completing the cut, wait for the Saw Chain to stop before moving the Chain Saw. Always turn off the Chain Saw before moving from tree to tree.
