Light duty cutting (fig. I)
How you should cut depends on how the log is supported.
Use a saw horse whenever possible. Always start a cut with
the saw chain (8) running and the spiked bumper in contact
with the wood. To complete the cut, use a pivoting action of
the spiked bumper against the wood.
When supported along its whole length:
Make a downward cut, but avoid cutting the earth as this
will blunt your saw chain quickly.
When supported at both ends:
First, cut one third down to avoid splintering and
second, cut again to meet the first cut,
When supported at one end:
First cut one third up to avoid splintering and second, cut
down to prevent splintering.
When on a slope:
Always stand on the uphill side.
When using a saw horse (fig. I):
This is strongly recommended whenever possible.
Position the log in a stable position. Always cut on the
outside of the saw horse arms. Use clamps or straps to
secure the workpiece.
