WARNINGICON G 001

CAUTION: Seek professional

help if facing conditions beyond

your ability.

Limbing is removing branches from a fallen

tree. Make sure your footing is ﬁrm. Keep

feet apart. Divide 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 13).

Clear cut limbs from work area often. This

will help maintain 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.

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. Stand slightly to left of saw. This keeps

your body from being in direct line with

chain. When possible, raise log or section

off ground. Do this by using limbs, logs,

chocks, etc.

When cutting through log, maintain control

by reducing 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 cut-

ting through log, release trigger to turn saw

off before moving saw.

Follow directions below to buck a log.
