56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS CHAIN SAW — CS1400/CS1400-FC 33
LIMBING
Limbing is removing branches from a
fallen tree. When limbing, leave larger
limbs to support the log off the ground.
Remove the small limbs in one cut as
illustrated in Fig. 17. Branches under
tension should be cut from the bottom up
to avoid binding the chain saw.
WARNING:
There is an extreme
danger of kickback during the limbing operation. Be extremely cautious and avoid
contacting the log or other limbs with the tip of the guide bar.
BUCKING A LOG (Fig. 18):
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, the log
should be raised and supported by the
use of limbs, logs or chocks. Follow the
simple directions for easy cutting.
WARNING:
Keep a clear cutting
area. Make sure that no objects can
contact the guide bar nose and chain
during cutting; this can cause kickback.
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.
