Maintenance And Repair - Makita EA3600F Manuel D'emploi Et De Sécurité

Start limbing by leaving the lower limbs to support the log off
the ground (Fig. 29). Always cut from the top of the limb. Do not
underbuck freely hanging limbs. A pinch may result or the limb
may fall, causing loss of control. If a pinch occurs, stop the engine
and remove the saw, by lifting the limb.
WARNING!
Be extremely cautious when cutting limbs under tension. The
limbs could spring back toward the operator and cause loss of
control of the saw or injury to the operator.
Bucking
Bucking is cutting a log into sections.
WARNING!
1. When bucking, do not stand on the log. Make sure the log will
not roll down-hill. If on a slope, stand on the up-hill side of the
log (see Fig. 30).
Watch out for rolling logs.
WARNING!
2. Cut only one log at a time.
WARNING!
3. Shattered wood should be cut very carefully. Sharp slivers of
wood may be caught and flung in the direction of the operator
of the saw.
WARNING!
4. When cutting small logs, use a sawhorse (Fig. 31). Never
permit another person to hold the log. Never hold the log with
your leg or foot.

1. Relieving cut
5. Logs under strain require special attention to prevent the saw
from pinching. The first cut is made on the compression side to
relieve the stress on the log (see Fig. 32, 33). The bucking cut
is then made as shown. If the saw pinches, stop the engine and
remove it from the log.

6. Only properly trained professionals should work in an area
where the logs, limbs and roots are tangled (i.e. a blowdown
area, Fig. 34). Working in blowdown areas is extremely
hazardous.
7. Drag the logs into a clear area before cutting. Pull out exposed
and cleared logs first.
