When the log is supported on both ends, cut 1/3 the
diameter from the top (overbuck). Then make the

nished

cut by underbucking the lower 2/3 to meet the

rst cut.

1/3

When bucking on a slope always stand on the uphill side of
the log. To maintain control when “cutting through”, release
the cutting pressure near the end of the cut without relaxing
your grip on the chainsaw handles. Don’t let the chain
contact the ground. After completing the cut, wait for the
saw chain to stop before you move the chainsaw. Always
stop the motor before moving from tree to tree.

LIMBING A TREE

Limbing is removing the branches from a fallen tree. When
limbing, leave larger lower limbs to support the log o

ﬀ

the

ground. Remove the small limbs in one cut. Branches
under tension should be cut from the bottom up to avoid
binding the chainsaw.

SPRINGPOLES

A springpole is any log, branch, rooted stump, or sapling
that 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
springpoles—they are dangerous. Do not attempt to cut
bent branches or stumps that are under tension unless you
are professionally trained and competent to do so.

WARNING!

Springpoles are dangerous and could strike

the operator, causing the operator to lose control of the
chainsaw. This could result in a severe or fatal injury to the
operator. Cutting spring poles should be done by trained
users.
