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
Fig.2
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
Fig.3
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.
