GENERAL CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS

LIMBING

Limbing a tree is the process of removing the branches from a fallen tree. Do not remove supporting limbs(A)until after the log is bucked (cut) into lengths (Figure 21). Branches under tension should be cut from the bottom up to avoid binding the chain saw.

Never cut tree limbs WARNING: while standing on

BUCKING

Bucking is cutting a fallen log into lengths. Make sure you have a good footing and stand uphill of the log when cut- ting on sloping ground. If possible, the log should be sup- ported so that the end to be cut off is not resting on the ground. If the log is supported at both ends and you must cut in the middle, make a downward cut halfway through the log and then make the undercut. This will prevent the log from pinching the bar and chain. Be careful that the chain does not cut into the ground when bucking as this causes rapid dulling of the chain.

When bucking on a slope, always stand on the uphill side.

1.Log supported along entire length: Cut from top (over- buck), being careful to avoid cutting into the ground (Figure 22).

2.Log supported on 1 end: First, cut from bottom (under- buck) 1/3 diameter of log to avoid splintering. Second, cut from above (overbuck) to meet first cut and avoid pinching (Figure 23).

3.Log supported on both ends: First, overbuck 1/3 diame- ter of log to avoid splintering. Second, underbuck to meet first cut and avoid pinching (Figure24).

NOTE: The best way to hold a log while bucking is to use a sawhorse. When this is not possible, the log should be raised and supported by the limb stumps or by using sup- porting logs. Be sure the log being cut is securely support- ed.

BUCKING USING A SAWHORSE

For personal safety and ease of cutting, the correct position for vertical bucking is essential (Figure 25).

VERTICAL CUTTING:

A. Hold the saw firmly with both hands and keep the saw to the right of your body while cutting.

BKeep the left arm as straight as possible. C. Keep weight on both feet.

While the saw is cut- CAUTION: ting, be sure the

chain and bar are being properly lubricated.

PS specifications

MTD PS, or Machine Translation Deep Post-Editing System, is an innovative solution designed to improve the accuracy and quality of machine-generated translations. This system is particularly instrumental for businesses and organizations that rely on multilingual communication and require high-quality translations for documents, websites, and other materials.

One of the main features of MTD PS is its deep learning architecture, which employs neural networks to analyze and refine machine-generated translations. This technology allows the system to understand linguistic nuances, context, and semantics, resulting in translations that are not only grammatically correct but also culturally relevant. The adaptability of deep learning means that the system can continuously improve over time by learning from user feedback and various language data.

Another significant characteristic of MTD PS is its user-friendly interface. Designed with usability in mind, the system allows post-editors to review and enhance translations with ease. Suggestions for improvements are generated in real-time, enabling human translators to make quick decisions and apply necessary changes. This collaboration between humans and machines amplifies productivity while maintaining high standards of quality.

MTD PS integrates advanced natural language processing (NLP) technologies, which are crucial for understanding and generating human-like text. With features such as context-aware formatting and terminology management, the system ensures consistency across different translations, streamlining the localization process. NLP capabilities also facilitate the handling of idiomatic expressions and jargon specific to certain fields, enabling the system to cater to various industries.

Additionally, MTD PS is equipped with extensive data analytics features. It allows users to track performance metrics such as translation accuracy and editor efficiency. This data-driven approach helps organizations evaluate the effectiveness of their translation processes and make informed decisions about future localization strategies.

In summary, MTD PS is a powerful tool that leverages deep learning, NLP technologies, and user-centric design to enhance the quality of machine translations. Its ability to adapt, learn, and provide actionable insights makes it an invaluable asset for a wide range of applications in the global marketplace. As businesses continue to expand their reach across borders, systems like MTD PS will play a pivotal role in ensuring effective communication and fostering collaboration across cultures.
