4. Limbing a tree
Limbing is removing the branches from a fallen tree. When
limbing leave larger lower limbs to support the log off the
ground. Remove the small limbs in one cut as illustrated in
Figure 3. Branches under tension should be cut from the
bottom up to avoid binding the Chain saw.

5. Bucking a log
Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is important to make
sure your footing is firm and your weight is evenly distributed
on both feet. When possible, the log should be raised and
supported by the use of limbs, logs or chocks. Follow the
simple directions for easy cutting.
When the log is supported along its entire length as
illustrated in Figure 3, it is cut from the top (overbuck),
avoid contacting ground as this will greatly reduce the
chain sharpness.

When the log is supported on one end, as illustrated
in Figure 5, cut 1/3 the diameter from the underside
(underbuck) (1). Then make the finished cut by
overbucking (2) to meet the first cut.

When bucking on a slope always stand on the uphill side of
the log, as illustrated in Figure 6. When "cutting through",

to maintain complete control release the cutting pressure
near the end of the cut without relaxing your grip on the
Chain saw handles. Don't let the chain contact the ground.
After completing the cut, wait for the saw chain to stop
before you move the Chain saw. Always stop the motor
before moving from tree to tree.
