Use a wedge to remove pinched saw.
Turn saw OFF and use a plastic or
wooden wedge to force cut open.
Overcutting begins on the top side of
the log with the bottom of the saw
against the log. When overcutting use
light downward pressure.
Overcutting Undercutting
Undercutting involvescutting 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.
4¢II_WARNING: Never turn saw up-
side down to undercut. The saw can-
not 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 pres-
sure of the log's weight is concentrated.

BUCKING WITHOUT A SUPPORT
• Overout through 1/3 of the diameter
of the log.
• Roll the log over and finish with a
second overcut.
• Watch for logs with a compression
side to prevent the saw from pinch-
ing. See illustration above for cutting
logs with a compression side.
BUCKING USING A LOG OR
SUPPORT STAND
• Remember your first cut is always on
the compression side of the log.
(Refer to the illustration below for
your first and second cut)
• Your first cut should extend 1/3 of the
diameter of the log.
• Finish with your second cut.
