Limbing is the designation for the cutting off of
branches and boughs from a fallen tree.
o
Do not remove support branches until after
the cutting off.
o
Branches under tension must be cut from
below to above, in order to prevent jamming
of the saw chain 5 .
o
When working on thicker branches, use the
same technique as when you are cutting up
a felled trunk. Work to the left of the log and
as near as possible to the product. As far as
possible, the weight of the product should rest
on the log.
o
Change position to cut off branches on the
other side of the trunk.
o
Branches sticking out are cut off separately.
Bucking
This refers to cutting up a fallen tree trunk into
smaller sections.
o
Ensure that the saw chain
5
does not come
in contact with the ground during cutting.
o
Make sure you have a secure stance and, in
the case of sloping ground, stand above the
log.
H
1. Log is lying on the ground:
Cut through the log completely from
above and ensure at the end of the cut
not to contact the ground.
If you can turn the tree trunk, cut two-
thirds of the way through it. Then turn the
trunk around and cut the rest of the way
through from above.
I
2. Log is supported at one end:
Start cutting from the bottom and work
your way up (with the upper edge of the
guide bar
4
) a third of the way into the
diameter of the trunk to prevent splitting.
Then cut from the top downwards (with
the lower edge of the guide bar
4
)
towards the first cut to prevent the guide
bar from becoming jammed in the wood.
J
3. Log is supported at both ends:
Start from the top and work down (with
the lower edge of the guide bar
4
) to
a third of the diameter of the trunk. Then
cut from underneath (with the upper
edge of the guide bar
4
) until the two
cuts meet.
4. Sawing on a sawhorse:
First-time user should, as a minimum
practice, cut logs on a sawhorse. Hold
the product steady with both hands,
keeping it in front of you while cutting.
Once the guide bar
4
is through the
wood, guide the product passed you on
the right. Hold your left arm as straight as
you can. Watch out for the falling trunk.
Position yourself to prevent any danger
from the separated trunk. Watch your
feet. The trunk may cause injuries when
falling. Keep your balance.
