Poulan Pro 295 Chainsaw Owners Manual

NOTE:  Before felling  cut is  complete,  use
wedges to open  the cut when necessary to
control  the direction  of  fall.   Use  wood or
plastic  wedges, but  never  steel or  iron, to
avoid kickback and chain  damage.
Overcutting
Undercutting
S  Be alert to signs  that the tree  is ready to
fall: cracking sounds,  widening of the fell-
ing
cut,   or   movement   in   the   upper
branches.
S  As tree starts to fall, stop saw, put it down,
and get away quickly on your planned  re-
treat path.
Undercutting involves cutting on the under-
side of the log with top of saw against the log.
When undercutting  use  light  upward pres-
sure.  Hold saw firmly and maintain  control.
The saw will tend to push back toward  you.
S  Be extremely cautious with partially fallen
trees that may be poorly supported.  When
a tree doesn’t fall completely,  set the saw
aside and pull  down the tree with a cable
winch,  block  and tackle,  or  tractor.

CUTTING A FALLEN TREE
(BUCKING)
First cut on pressure side of log
Bucking is the term used for cutting  a fallen
tree to the desired log length.
WARNING: Do not stand on the  log
being cut.  Any portion can roll causing loss
of footing and control. Do not stand downhill
of the log being cut.
Second cut
Second cut
Important points
S  Cut only one log at a time.
S  Cut shattered wood  very carefully; sharp
pieces of wood could be flung toward oper-
ator.
First cut on pressure side of log
S  Use a sawhorse to cut small logs.  Never
allow another person to hold the  log while
cutting and never hold the log with your leg
or foot.
BUCKING WITHOUT A
SUPPORT
S  Do not cut  in an area  where logs, limbs,
and roots are tangled. Drag the logs into a
clear area before cutting by pulling out ex-
posed and cleared logs first.
S
S
Overcut through 1/3 of the diameter of the
log.
Roll the log over and finish  with a second
overcut.
TYPES OF CUTTING USED
FOR BUCKING
S  Give special attention to logs under strain
to prevent  the saw from  pinching.  Make
the first cut on the pressure side to relieve
the stress on the log.
WARNING: If saw becomes pinched
or hung in a log, don’t try to force it out. You
can lose control of the saw resulting in injury
and/or damage  to the  saw.  Stop  the saw,
drive a wedge of plastic or wood into the cut
until the saw can be removed easily. Restart
the saw and carefully reenter the cut. Do not
attempt to restart your saw when it is pinched
or hung in a log.
BUCKING USING A LOG OR
SUPPORT STAND
S  Remember your first cut is always  on the
pressure side of the log.
S  Your first   cut  should  extend  1/3  of  the
diameter of the log.
S  Finish with your second cut.
