down to undercut. The saw cannot be con-
trolled in this position.
Always make your first cut on the compres-
sionsideofthelog.   Thecompressionsideof
the log  is where  the pressure of  the log’s
weight is concentrated.
WARNING:  Donot  standon thelog
being cut.  Any portion can roll causing loss
of footing and control. Do not stand downhill
of the log being cut.
