should begin to fall. If there is any chance
that the tree may not fall in desired direction
or it may rock back and bind the saw chain,
stop cutting before the felling back cut is
complete and use wedges of wood, plastic
or aluminum (Z) to open the cut and drop the
tree along the desired line of fall (
3
).
When the tree begins to fall remove the
chainsaw from the cut, stop the motor, put
the chainsaw down, then use the retreat path
planned (
2
). Be alert for overhead limbs
falling and watch your footing. (See Figure 1.)

4. Limbing a tree
Limbing is removing the branches from
a fallen tree. When limbing, leave larger
lower limbs to support the log off the
ground. Remove the small limbs in one cut
as illustrated in Figure 2. Branches under
tension should be cut from the bottom up to
avoid binding the chainsaw.

5. Bucking a log
Bucking 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 or chocks.
Follow the simple directions for easy cutting.
When the log is supported along its entire
length as illustrated in Figure 3, it is cut from
the top (overbuck), avoid contacting ground as
this will greatly reduce the chain sharpness.
Fig. 3
When the log is supported on one end, as
illustrated in Figure 4, cut 1/3 the diameter
from the underside (underbuck) (1). Then
make the finished cut by overbucking (2) to
meet the first cut.
