Instructions concerning the proper techniques
for limbing and cross-cutting
1. 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 1. Branches

under tension should be cut from the bottom up to

avoid binding the pruning saw.
2. 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,
EN 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 2, 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 3, cut 1/3 the diameter from
the underside ( underbuck) (1). Then make the
finished cut by overbucking (2) to meet the first
cut.

When bucking on a slope always stand on the
uphill side of the log, as illustrated in Figure 5.

When "cutting through", to maintain complete
control release the cutting pressure near the
end of the cut without relaxing your grip on the
pruning 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 pruning
saw. Always stop the motor before moving from
tree to tree.
