Limbing a fallen tree is much the same as
bucking.
Never limb on the tree that you are standing.
Be careful of the tip touching other limbs.
Always use both hands.
CAUTION

Bucking is the sawing of a log or fallen tree
into smaller pieces.
There are a few basic rules which apply to all
bucking operations.
Keep both hands on the handles at all times.
CAUTION
Stay on the uphill side of logs.
Limbing
Don’t cut with the saw overhead or the bar in
a vertical position. If the saw should kickback,
you may not have good enough control to
prevent possible injury.
Even when limbing, use of the spiked bumper
makes it easy to control the chain saw and
lessens kickback.
