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.
Branches under tension should be cut from the bottom
up to avoid binding the product(Fig.22).

A spring pole is any log, branch, rooted stump, or
sapling which is bent under tension by other wood
so that it springs back if the wood holding it is cut or
removed. On a fallen tree, a rooted stump has a high
potential of springing back to the upright position during
the bucking cut to separate the log from the stump.
Watch out for spring poles, they are dangerous(Fig.23).

1. Follow the simple directions for easy cutting. When
the log is supported along its entire length, it is cut
from the top (overbuck)(Fig.24). Do not let the bar
and chain hit the ground.

2. When the log is supported on one end, cut 1/3 the
diameter from the underside (underbuck). Then
make the finished cut by overbucking to meet the
first cut (Fig.25).
