Instructions concerning the proper techniques
for limbing and cross-cutting
1. 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 1. Branches under
tension should be cut from the bottom up to avoid
binding the pruning saw.

2. 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 2, it is cut from the top
(overbuck), avoid contacting ground as this will
greatly reduce the chain sharpness.

in Figure 3, cut 1/3 the diameter from the underside
( underbuck) (1). Then make the finished cut by
overbucking (2) to meet the first cut.
