CUTTING WOOD UNDER TENSION (See
Fig. V)
WARNING: When cutting a limb
that is under tension, use extreme
caution. Be alert for wood springing
back. When wood tension is released,
the limb could spring back and strike
operator causing severe injury or death.
When sawing logs supported on both ends,
start the cut from above(Y) about 1/3 of the
diameter into the log and then finish the cut
(Z) from below, in order to avoid contact of the
JawSaw with the ground. When sawing logs
supported on only one end, start the cut from
below (Y) about 1/3 of the diameter into the
log and finish the cut from above (Z) in order
to avoid log splitting or jamming of the tool.
LIMBING A TREE (See Fig. W)
Limbing is removing the branches from a
fallen tree. When limbing leave larger lower
limbs to support the log off the ground.
Remove the small limbs in one cut as
illustrated. Branches under tension should be
cut from the bottom up to avoid binding the
JawSaw.
BUCKING A LOG (See Fig. X)
Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is
important to make sure your footing is firm
and your weight is evenly distributed on both
feet. Follow the simple directions for easy
cutting.
WARNING: (See Fig. Y)

stakes. Drive wooden stakes into ground
on downhill side of log. Stand on uphill
side of log while cutting. Log may roll after
cutting. (See Fig. Y)
