THICK LOG, LARGER THAN GUIDE BAR LENGTH

Begin by cutting on the opposite side of the log. Pull the saw towards you followed by previous procedure. (Fig. 2-7J)

If the log is lying on the ground make a boring cut to avoid cutting into the ground. Finish with a bottom cut. (Fig. 2-7K)

WARNING! KICKBACK DANGER!!

Do not attempt a boring cut if you are not properly trained. A boring cut involves the use of the nose of the guide bar and can result in kickback.

CROSS CUTTING LOGS, PRESSURE ON BOTTOM

LIMBING

Limbing is removing the branches from a feller tree.

WARNING!

A majority of kickback accidents occur during limbing.

Do not use the nose of the guide bar. Be extremely cautious and avoid contacting the log, other limbs or objects with the nose of the guide bar. Be extremely cautious of limbs under tension. They can spring back towards you and cause loss of control resulting in injury. (Fig. 2-7G)

Stand on the left side of the trunk. Maintain a secure footing and rest the saw on the trunk. Hold the saw close to you so that you are in full control of it. Keep well away from the chain. Move only when the trunk is between you and the chain. Watch out for spring back of limbs under tension.

LIMBING THICK BRANCHES

When limbing thick branches, the guide bar may get pinched easily. Branches under tension often snap up, so cut troublesome branches in small steps. Apply the same principles as for cross cutting.

Think ahead and be aware of the possible consequences of all your actions.

CROSS CUTTING/BUCKING

Before starting to cut through the log, try to imagine what is going to happen. Look out for stresses in the log and cut through it in such a manner that the guide bar will not get pinched.

CROSS CUTTING LOGS, PRESSURE ON TOP

Take a firm stance. Begin with an upper cut. Do not cut too deeply, about 1/3 of the log diameter is enough.

Finish with a bottom cut. The saw cuts should meet. (Fig. 2-7H)

Take a firm stance. Begin with a bottom cut. The depth of the cut should be about 1/3 of the log diameter.

Finish with an upper cut. The saw cuts should meet. (Fig. 2-7L)

THICK LOG, LARGER THAN GUIDE BAR LENGTH

Begin by cutting on the opposite side of the log. Pull the saw towards you, followed by previous procedure.

Make a boring cut if the log is close to the ground.

Finish with a top cut. (Fig. 2-7M)

WARNING! KICKBACK DANGER!!

Do not attempt a boring cut if you are not properly trained. A boring cut involves the use of the nose of the guide bar and can result in kickback. (Fig. 2-7N)

IF THE SAW GETS STUCK

Stop the engine.

Raise the log or change its position, using a thick branch or pole as a lever.

Do not try to pull the saw free. If you do, you can deform the handle or be injured by the saw chain if the saw is suddenly released.
