2nd Cut - Upper Notch Cut

1st Cut - Lower Notch Cut

3rd Cut - 
Felling Cut

 WARNING: Do not cut all the way 

through tree. Leave about two inches 
of tree diameter uncut directly behind 
felling notch (see Figure 10). This uncut 
portion acts as a hinge. The hinge helps 
keep tree from twisting and falling in 
wrong direction.

 WARNING: Be alert for falling over-

head limbs. Watch your footing while 
exiting area.

LIMBING A TREE

 WARNING: When cutting limb that 

is under tension, use extreme caution. 
Be alert for wood springing back. When 
wood tension is released, limb could 
spring back and strike operator causing 
severe injury or death.

 WARNING: Avoid kickback. Kickback 

can result in severe injury or death. See 

Kickback

 

to avoid risk of kickback.

Limbing is removing branches from a fallen tree. 
Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet apart. 
Divide your weight evenly on both feet. Do not 
remove larger limbs under tree that support log off 
ground. Remove each limb with one cut (see Figure 
11). Clear cut limbs from work area often. This will 
help maintain a safe work area.
Make sure you start your cut where limb will not 
pinch saw during cutting. To avoid pinching, start cut 
on freely hanging limbs from above limb. Start cut on 
limbs under tension from under limb. If pinch occurs, 
turn saw off, lift limb, and remove saw.

Figure 11 - Limbing A Tree

Bucking a log is cutting a log into sections. Make sure 
your footing is firm. Keep feet apart. Divide your weight 
evenly on both feet. When possible, raise log or section 
off ground. Do this by using limbs, logs, chocks, etc. 
When cutting through log, maintain control by re-
ducing cutting pressure near end of cut. Do not relax 
your grip on chain saw handles. Do not let moving 
chain touch ground. Ground will dull moving chain. 
After cutting through log, release trigger to turn saw 
off before moving saw. 
Follow directions on page 13 to buck a log.

BUCKING A LOG

 WARNING: Avoid kickback. Kickback 

can result in severe injury or death. See 

Kickback 

to avoid risk of kickback.

 WARNING:

•  If on slope, make sure log will not roll 

down hill. Secure log by using wooden 
stakes. Drive wooden stakes into 
ground on downhill side of log. Stand 
on uphill side of log while cutting. Log 
may roll after cutting.

• Never try cutting through two logs at 

same time. This could increase the risk 
of kickback.

•  While cutting log, never hold log with 

your hand, leg, or foot.

•  While cutting log, never allow another 

person to hold log.

•  Turn off and unplug saw before moving 

from one place to another.
