Take special care to make this work, since the log may roll to one side. When
working on a slope, stand higher than the trunk.
Follow the instructions days in the "Safety Standards" to avoid the risk of decline in

Before starting work, check the direction of the bending force and inside the trunk to be cut. The
cut is always on the side opposite to the direction of the bending force to prevent the guide bar to
