30
(i11.27). Next, align the
saw
in the direction in which the re-
cess is to be cut.
With the
saw at
full throttle, insert the guide bar in the trunk
(ill.
28).
Enlarge the plunge cut as shown
in illustration (ill. 29).
Warning!
There is an extreme danger of kickback at this point. Extra
caution must be taken
to maintain control of the saw. To
make the felling
cut,
follow the sectioning method descri-
bed previously (ill. 30).
If
you are inexperienced with a chain saw, plunge-cutting
should
not
be attempted. Seek the help of
a
professional.
Limbing
Limbing is removing the branches from a fallen tree.
Warning!
There is an extreme danger of kickback during the limbing
operation. Do not work with the nose of the bar. Be ex-
tremely cautious and avoid contacting the log
or other
limbs with the
nose
of the guide bar.
Do
not
stand
on a
log while
limbing it
you may
slip
or
the
log
may roll.
Start limbing by leaving the
lower limbs
to support
the log
off the ground (ill. 31). When underbucking freely hanging
limbs, a pinch may
result or the limb may fall, causing
loss
of control.
If a pinch occurs, stop the engine and remove
the saw, by
lifting the limb.
Warning!
Be extremely cautious when cutting
limbs
or logs under
tension (spring
poles). The limbs or logs could spring
back
toward
the operator and cause loss of control of
the saw
and severe or fatal injury to
the operator.
Bucking
Bucking is cutting a log into
sections.
Warn[
1. When bucking,
do not stand
on
the log. Make
sure
the log will not roll downhill. If
on a slope, stand on the
uphill side of the log (see ill.32). Watch out for rolling
logs.
