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
19. Branches under tension should be cut from the bottom up to avoid binding the chain
saw.

• 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 20, it is cut from
the top (overbuck).
• When the log is supported on one end, as illustrated in figure 21, cut 1/3 the diameter
from the underside (underbuck). Then make the finished cut by overbucking to meet the
first cut.
• When the log is supported on both ends, as illustrated in figure 22, cut 1/3 the diameter
from the top (overbuck). Then make the finished cut by underbucking the lower 2/3 to
meet the first cut.
• When bucking on a slope always stand on the uphill side of the log, as illustrated in
figure23. 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.
