Make the felling back cut so enough wood is left to act as
a hinge. The hinge wood keeps the tree from twisting and
falling in the wrong direction.
Do not cut through the hinge as shown below.
As the felling cut gets close to the hinge the tree should
u
begin to fall. If there is any chance that the tree may
not fall in the desired direction or it may rock back and
bind the saw chain, stop cutting before the felling cut is
complete and use wedges to open the cut and drop the
tree along the desired line of fall. When the tree begins to
fall remove the chainsaw from the cut, stop the motor, put
the chainsaw down, then use the retreat path planned. Be
alert for overhead limbs falling and watch your footing.
Limbing (Fig. V)
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. Branches under tension
should be cut from the bottom of the branch towards the top
to avoid binding the chainsaw as shown in Fig. V. Trim limbs
from opposite side keeping tree stem between you and saw.
Never make cuts with saw between your legs or straddle the
limb to be cut.
Bucking (Fig. W, X, Y, Z)
Warning! Recommend that first-time users should practice
cutting on a saw horse.
Cutting a felled tree or log into lengths. How you should
cut depends on how the log is supported. Use a saw horse
whenever possible as shown in Fig. W.
Always start a cut with the saw chain running at full speed.
u
Place the bottom spike of the chainsaw behind the area of
u
the initial cut as shown in Fig. W.
Turn the chainsaw on then rotate the saw chain and bar
u
down into the tree, using the spike as a hinge.
Once the chainsaw gets to a 45 ° angle, level the chain-
u
saw again and repeat steps until you cut fully through.
When the tree is supported along its entire length Fig. X,
u
make a cut from the top (overbuck), but avoid cutting the
earth as this will dull your saw quickly.
When supported at one end Fig. Y, first, cut 1/3 the
u
diameter from the underside (underbuck). Then make
the finishing cut by overbucking to meet the first cut as
shown in Fig Y.
When supported at both ends Fig. Z. First, cut 1/3 down
u
from the top overbuck. Then make the finished cut by un-
derbucking the lower 2/3 to meet the first cut as shown in
Fig. Z.
