If you are inexperienced with a
chainsaw, plunge-cutting should not be
attempted. Seek the help of a
professional.
Limbing
Limbing is removing the branches from a
fallen tree.
!
Warning!
There is an extreme danger of kickback
during the limbing operation. Do not
work with the nose of the bar. Be
extremely cautious and avoid contacting
the log or other limbs with the nose of the
guide bar.
Do not stand on a log while limbing it -
you may slip or the log may roll.
Bucking
Bucking is cutting a log into sections.
2.
3.
Cut only one log at a time.
Start limbing by leaving the lower limbs
to support the log off the ground. When
underbucking freely hanging limbs, a
pinch may result or the limb may fall,
causing loss of control. If a pinch occurs,
stop the engine and remove the saw, by
lifting the limb.
Shattered wood should be cut very
carefully. Sharp slivers of wood may
be caught and flung in the direction
of the operator of the saw.
When cutting small logs, place log
through "V" - shaped supports on
top of a sawhorse. Never permit
another person to hold the log.
Never hold the log with your leg or
foot.
!
Warning!
1.
When bucking, do not stand on the
log. Make sure the log will not roll
downhill. If on a slope, stand on the
uphill side of the log. Watch out for
rolling logs.
4.
!
Warning!
Be extremely cautious when cutting
limbs or logs under tension (spring
poles). The limbs or logs could spring
back toward the operator and cause loss
of control of the saw and severe or fatal
injury to the operator.
