CUTTING A TREE
Decide the direction you want the tree to fall. Consider
the wind, lean of the tree, location of heavy branches,
ease of job after the tree falls, etc.
While cleaning the area around the tree, arrange a good
foothold and retreat path.
Cut a notch into approximately one-third the width of
the tree trunk, into the side of the tree in the direction
you want it to fall (Figure 17).
Then cut from the opposite side of the notch and at
a level slightly higher than the bottom of the notch
(Figure 17).
WARNING! Before you cut a tree down, be sure
to eliminate any dangers and notify those in close
proximity.
BUCKING AND LIMBING
WARNING! Always ensure stable footing. Do not
stand on the log. Be alert that the log may roll over after
cutting. Especially when working on a slope, stand on
the uphill side of the log. Follow the instructions in "For
Safe Operation" to avoid kickback of the saw.
A LOG LYING ON THE GROUND
Saw down halfway, then roll the log over and cut from
the opposite side (Figure 18).
A LOG HANGING OFF THE GROUND
In area A, saw up from the bottom one-third and finish
by sawing down from the top, In area B, saw down from
the top one-third and finish by sawing up from the
bottom (Figure 19).
CUTTING LIMB OF A FALLEN TREE

initial cut from the bent side and finish by sawing from
the opposite side. (Figure 20).
