8. When
limbing
(trimming) branches
from a fallen tree, leave the larger,
lower limbs to support the log off
the ground. Remove the small limbs
in one cut. Branches under tension
should be cut from the bottom up to
avoid binding the Saw Chain.

a log is cutting a log into
lengths. It is important to make sure
your footing is firm and your weight
is evenly distributed on both feet.
When possible, the log should be
raised and supported by the use of
limbs, logs, chocks or a timberjack.
Figure 8
10. To
Overbuck
is when the log is
supported along its entire length and
is cut from the top. Allow the Saw to
pull forward into the top of the log
until the Bucking Spike catches on
the log. Then pivot the saw through
the log.
Figure 9
11. To Underbuck is when the log is
supported on one end, and a cut 1/3
the diameter of the log is made from
the underside of the log. Then, the
finished cut is made by overbucking
to meet the first cut.
Figure 10
12. When the log is supported on both
ends, cut 1/3 of the log’s diameter
from the top overbuck. Then, make
the finished cut by underbucking the
lower 2/3 diameter of the log to meet
the first cut.
