OPERATION
Limbing
Limbing a fallen tree is much the same
as bucking. Never stand on the tree
that you are limbing. When limbing,
caution is the word. Be careful of the tip
touching other limbs. Always use both
hands.
Don't cut with the saw overhead or
aligned vertically with your body. If the
saw should kick back, you may not
have enough control to prevent possible
injury.
Bucking
Bucking is the sawing of a log or fallen
tree into smaller pieces. There are a few
basic rules which apply to all bucking
operations.
•
Keep both hands on the handles at
all times.
•
Support logs if possible.
•
When cutting on a slope or hillside,
always stand uphill.
