4.  Limbing a tree
Limbing is 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 as 
illustrated in Figure 3. Branches under tension 
should be cut from the bottom up to avoid 
binding the chain saw.

5. Bucking a log
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. 
When the log is supported along its entire 
length as illustrated in Figure 3, it is cut 
from the top (overbuck), avoid contacting 
ground as this will greatly reduce the chain 
sharpness.

When the log is supported on one end, as 
illustrated in Figure 5, cut 1/3 the diameter 
from the underside (underbuck) (1). Then 
make the finished cut by overbucking (2) to 
meet the first cut.
