S  DO NOT cut  down a  partially fallen  tree
with your saw. Be extremely cautious with
partially  fallen  trees  that may  be  poorly
supported.  When a tree doesn’t  fall com-
pletely, set the sawaside and pull down the
tree with a cable winch,  block and tackle,
or tractor.
WARNING:   Never turn saw upside
down to undercut.  The saw cannot be con-
trolled in this position.
Always make your first cut on the compres-
sion side of the log. The compression side of
the  log is  where the  pressure of  the  log’s
weight is concentrated.
