4.  As the hinge gets smaller, the tree should begin to fall. When 

the tree begins to fall, remove the chain saw from the cut, 
stop the engine and set the unit down immediately. Promptly 
exit the area along the retreat path, but keep watching the 
tree as it falls.

 

DANGER

If the tree starts to fall in the wrong direction and binds the 
chain saw, leave the unit and evacuate the area immediately! 
Do not try to save the chain saw!

 

wARNiNG

Stay clear of spring poles when operating the unit. Spring 
poles are branches, logs, roots or saplings that are bent under 
tension by other wood (Fig. 14). When the tension is released, 
spring poles can strike the operator, causing serious injury 
and potentially knocking the chain saw into the operator’s 
body. Use extreme caution when cutting spring poles or when 
releasing the cause of tension.

Limbing

Limbing is the process of removing branches from a fallen tree.

1.  Leave the larger support limbs under the tree for last (Fig. 15). 

These will keep the tree off the ground during the limbing 
process.

2.  Cut one limb at a time. Stand on the opposite side of the tree 

from the limb (Fig. 15). Keep the trunk between the operator 
and the chain saw. To avoid binding the chain saw, branches 
under tension should be cut from the bottom up.

3.  Remove the cut limbs from the work area.

bucking: Safety

Bucking is the process of cutting a fallen tree into logs of desired 
lengths. Follow these safety precautions to reduce the risk of 
serious injury:

1.  Clear the area of objects or obstructions that could contact 

the guide bar and result in kickback. 

2.  When bucking on a slope, always stand on the uphill side of 

the fallen tree.

3.  If possible, the end of the tree to be cut should be raised off 

of the ground. A saw horse is ideal for this purpose. If a saw 
horse is not available, use other logs or any remaining limb 
stumps. Make sure the tree if firmly supported.

4.  Do not let the saw chain contact the ground or saw horse.

5.  Cut one log at a time. Release the throttle control and allow 

the saw chain to come to a complete stop before moving on 
to the next log.

6.  Keep feet and all other body parts clear of falling logs.

 

DANGER

Use extreme caution when cutting a fallen tree that is still 
attached to the root structure. When the trunk is separated 
from the roots, the stump has a high potential for rocking back 
into the hole created by the roots. This can result in serious 
injury or death. Never stand in the hole left by the roots. Never 
allow others to stand near the root structure.

bucking: Procedure

Cutting Logs Under Stress

When logs are supported on one or both ends, the wood tends to 
bend during the cutting process. This can cause the chain saw to 
become pinched between the two sides. Pay extra attention. 

1.  Make the first cut approximately 1/3 the diameter of the log. 

Do not cut deeper than 1/3. 

1a. If the log is supported on one end (Fig. 16), make the first 

cut from below (underbucking). Refer to Underbucking.
