BUCKING A LOG

WARNING: Avoid kickback. Kick-

back can result in severe injury or death.

See

Kickback,

page 3, to avoid risk of

kickback.

WARNING:

• If on slope, make sure log will not roll

down hill. Secure log by using wooden

stakes. Drive wooden stakes into

ground on downhill side of log. Stand

on uphill side of log while cutting. Log

may roll after cutting.

• Never try cutting through two logs at

same time. This could

increase the risk of kickback.

• While cutting log, never hold log with

your hand, leg, or foot.

• While cutting log, never allow another

person to hold log.

• Turn off and unplug saw before mov-

ing from one place to another.

Bucking a log is cutting a log into sections. Make sure

your footing is ﬁrm. Keep feet apart. Divide your weight

evenly on both feet. When possible, raise log or section

off ground. Do this by using limbs, logs, chocks, etc.

When cutting through log, maintain control by re-

ducing cutting pressure near end of cut. Do not relax

your grip on chain saw handles. Do not let moving

chain touch ground. Ground will dull moving chain.

After cutting through log, release trigger to turn saw

off before moving saw.

Follow directions below to buck a log.

Entire Length Of Log On Ground

Cut log from top (see Figure 13).

Log Supported On One End

1. Make ﬁrst cut on underside of log (see Figure 14).

Use top of guide bar to make this cut. Cut 1/3

through diameter of log. This cut will keep sec-

tion from splintering when cut.

2. Make second cut directly above ﬁrst cut. Cut

down to meet ﬁrst cut. This cut will keep log

from pinching guide bar and chain.

Log Supported On Both Ends

1. Make ﬁrst cut from above log (see Figure 15).

Cut 1/3 through diameter of log. This cut will

keep section from splintering when cut.

2. Make second cut on underside of log, directly

under ﬁrst cut. Use top of guide bar to make this

cut. Cut up to meet ﬁrst cut. This will keep log

from pinching guide bar and chain.

TRIMMING A TREE (PRUNING)

WARNING: Avoid kickback. Kick-

back can result in severe injury or death.

See

WARNING: Do not operate chain

saw while

• in a tree

• on a ladder or any other unstable sur-

face

facing conditions beyond your ability.

LIMBING A TREE

WARNING: When cutting limb that is

under tension, use extreme caution. Be

alert for wood springing back. When

wood tension is released, limb could

spring back and strike operator causing

severe injury or death.

WARNING: Avoid kickback. Kick-

back can result in severe injury or death.

See

kickback.

Limbing is removing branches from a fallen tree.

Make sure your footing is ﬁrm. Keep feet apart. Di-

vide your weight evenly on both feet. Do not remove

larger limbs under tree that support log off ground.

Remove each limb with one cut (see Figure 12). Clear

cut limbs from work area often. This will help main-

tain a safe work area.

Make sure you start your cut where limb will not

pinch saw during cutting. To avoid pinching, start

cut on freely hanging limbs from above limb. Start

cut on limbs under tension from under limb. If pinch

occurs, turn saw off, lift limb, and remove saw.
