While limbing, do not limb larger lower limbs which support the log
off the ground. Cut all small limbs in one cut.
Branches
under tension should
be cut from the bottom
up to avoid pinching
the chain saw.
Logs lying flat on the ground
Saw down halfway, then roll the log
over and cut from the opposite
side.
Bucking a Log
Bucking is cutting a log into lengths.
Make sure that your footing is firm and your weight is evenly
distributed on both feet.
If possible, raise and support the log by the use of limbs, logs or
chocks.
According to the location of the log, cut as follows:
When the log is supported along its entire length, start cutting from
the top. While cutting, make sure not to touch the ground with the
guide bar.
When the log is supported on one end, first cut 1/3 of the diameter
from the underside. Then make the finished cut by cutting from the
top and meet the first cut.
