As the felling cut gets close to the hinge the tree should begin to fall. If there is any chance that the
tree may not fall in the 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 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 footing.
7.3.3 Limbing a tree (Fig.15)
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. Branches under tension should
be cut from the bottom up to avoid binding the Chain saw.
7.3.4 Bucking a log
Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is important to make sure footing is firm and weight is evenly
distributed on both feet. When possible, the log should be raised and supported by the use of limbs,
logs or chocks.
7.4 Follow these simple directions for easy cutting:
When the log is supported along its entire length, it is cut from the top (overbuck). (Fig.16).
