OPERATION
When bucking on a slope, always stand on the
uphill side of the log as shown in figure 20. When
"cutting through," to maintain complete control
of the chain saw, release the cutting pressure near
the end of the cut without relaxing your grip on the
chain saw handles. Do not let the chain contact
the ground. After completing the cut, wait for the
saw chain to stop before you move the chain saw.
Always stop the motor before moving from tree
to tree.
Types of Cutting Used
See Figure 22.
Overbucking
Begin on the top side of the log with the bottom
of the saw against the log; exert light pressure
downward. Note that the saw will tend to pull
away from you.
Underbucking
Begin on the under side of the log with the top
of the saw against the log; exert light pressure
upward. During underbucking, the saw will tend
to push back at you. Be prepared for this reaction
and hold the saw firmly to maintain control.
Limbing
See Figure 23.
WARNING
Never climb into a tree to limb or prune. Do not
stand on ladders, platforms, a log, or in any
position which can cause you to lose your bal-
ance or control of the saw, which could result
in death or other serious personal injury.
Limbing is removing branches from a fallen tree.
Work slowly, keeping both hands on the chain
saw with a firm grip. Always make sure your
footing is secure and your weight is distributed
evenly on both feet.
Leave the larger support limbs under the tree
to keep the tree off the ground while cutting.
Limbs should be cut one at a time. Remove the
cut limbs from the work area often to help keep
the work area clean and safe.
Branches under tension should be cut from the
bottom up to avoid binding the chain saw.
Keep the tree between you and the chain saw
while limbing. Cut from the side of the tree op-
posite the branch you are cutting.
