or objects at the nose of the guide bar
when limbing or pruning. Allowing such
contact can result in serious injury.

BUCKING WITHOUT A SUPPORT
S Overcut through 1/3 of the diameter of
the log.
WARNING: Never climb into a tree
to limb or prune. Do not stand on lad-
ders, platforms, a log, or in any position
which can cause you to lose your bal-
ance or control of the saw.
S Roll the log over and finish with a sec-
ond overcut.
S Watch for logs with a compression
side to prevent the saw from pinching.
See illustration above for cutting logs
with a compression side.

poles are small size limbs which can
whip toward you or pull you off bal-
ance. Use extreme caution when cut-
ting small size limbs.
BUCKING USING A LOG OR

the compression side of the log.

wood fibers is released.
S Frequently clear branches out of the
way to avoid tripping over them.
