Keep in mind that the wood is heavy and that it will bend and pinch the saw
if improperly supported. The trunk will weaken at the point where you make
the cut unless the tree is lying on perfectly flat ground or supported as
shown. If you make the cut with the tree on the ground, don’t let the saw’s
chain dig into the earth; it is harmful for the saw, and you stand a good
chance of being struck by flying debris.
To cut the trunk, use the bucking and two-cut sequence shown. The first cut
should be no deeper than one-third the trunk diameter.
