OPERATION

UNDERBUCKING

See Figure 22.

Begin on the under side of the log with the top of the saw against the log; exert light pressure upward. During underbucking, the saw will tend to push back at you. Be prepared for this reaction and hold the saw firmly to maintain control.

LIMBING

See Figure 23.

Limbing is removing branches from a fallen tree.

nWork slowly, keeping both hands on the chain saw with a firm grip. Always make sure your footing is secure and your weight is distributed evenly on both feet.

nLeave the larger support limbs under the tree to keep the tree off the ground while cutting.

nLimbs should be cut one at a time. Remove the cut limbs from the work area often to help keep the work area clean and safe.

nBranches under tension should be cut from the bottom up to avoid binding the chain saw.

nKeep the tree between you and the chain saw while limbing. Cut from the side of the tree opposite the branch you are cutting.

PRUNING

See Figure 24.

Pruning is trimming limbs from a live tree.

nWork slowly, keeping both hands on the chain saw with a firm grip. Always make sure your footing is secure and your weight is distributed evenly on both feet.

nDo not cut from a ladder, this is extremely dan- gerous. Leave this operation for professionals.

nDo not cut above shoulder height as a saw held higher is difficult to control against kickback.
