lean of the tree, the location of larger
branches and the wind direction to judge
which way the tree will fall.
Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples
and wire from the tree.
2. Notching undercut
Make the notch 1/3 the diameter of the
tree, perpendicular to the direction of falls
as illustrated in Figure 1. Make the lower
horizontal notching cut first. This will help
to avoid pinching either the saw chin or the
guide bar when the second notch is being
made.
3. Felling back cut
Make the felling back cut at least 50 mm
higher than the horizontal notching cut as
illustrated in Figure 1. Keep the felling back
cut parallel to the horizontal notching cut.
Make the felling back cut so enough wood is
left to act as a hinge. The hinge wood keeps
the tree from twisting and falling in the wrong
direction. Do not cut through the hinge
As the felling gets close to the hinge, the tree
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
aluminium to open the cut and drop the tree
along the desired line of fall.
When the tree begins to fall remove the chain
saw from the cut, stop the motor, put the
chain saw down, then use the retreat path
planned. Be alert for overhead limbs falling
and watch your footing.
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 chain saw.
5. Bucking a log
Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is
important to make sure your footing is firm
Chain saw
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).
When the log is supported on one end, as
illustrated in Figure 4, cut 1/3 the diameter
from the underside (underbuck). Then make
the finished cut by overbucking to meet the
first cut.
When the log is supported on both ends, as
illustrated in Figure 5, cut 1/3 the diameter
from the top (overbuck). Then make the
finished cut by underbucking the lower 2/3 to
meet the first cut.
When bucking on a slope always stand on
the uphill side of the log, as illustrated in
Figure 6. When "cutting through" , to maintain
complete control release the cutting pressure
near the end of the cut without relaxing your
grip on the chain saw handles. Don't let the
chain contact the ground. After completing
the cut, wait for the saw chain to stop before
you move the chain saw. Always stop the
motor before moving from tree to tree.
