Limbing

Bucking

Limbing a tree is the process of removing the 
branches from a fallen tree. Do not remove supporting 
limbs (A) until after the log is bucked (cut) Into lengths. 
Branches under tension should be cut from the 
bottom up to avoid binding the chain saw.
Warning: Never cut tree limbs while standing on tree 
trunk.

Bucking is cutting a fallen log into lengths. Make sure 
you have a good footing and stand up hill of the log 
when cutting on sloping ground. If possible, the log 
should be supported so that the end to be cut off is 
not resting on the ground. If the log is supported at 
both ends and you must cut in the middle, make a 
downward cut halfway through the log and then make 
the undercut. This will prevent the log from pinching 
the bar and chain.
Be careful that the chain does not cut Into the ground 
when bucking as this causes rapid dulling of the 
chain. When bucking on a slope, always stand on the 
uphill side.
> Log supported along entire length: Cut from top 
(over buck), being careful to avoid cutting into the 
ground
