Bucking
1. Rest the bottom edge of the chain saw body on
the wood to be cut.
2. Withthesawchainrunning,sawintothewood
while using the rear handle to raise the saw and the
front one to guide it. Use the spike bumper as a pivot.
3. Continue the cut by applying slight pressure to
the front handle, easing the saw back slightly. Move
the spike bumper further down the timber and raise the
front handle again.
NOTICE: When making several cuts, switch the
chain saw off between cuts.
CAUTION: If the upper edge of the bar is used
for cutting, the chain saw may be deected in
your direction if the chain becomes trapped. For
this reason, cut with the lower edge, so that the
saw will be deected away from your body.

Perform parallel-to-grain cuts at as shallow an angle as
possible. Take an extra caution when carrying out the
cut as the spike bumper cannot be used.
