• Make sure that the saw chain does not
become jammed in the wood. Do not
let the tree trunk break or split off.
• Consider also the precautions against
spring-back (see notes on safety).

Bucking
This refers to sawing up a felled tree trunk
into smaller sections.
• Ensure that the saw chain does not
come in contact with the ground during
sawing.
• Make sure you have a secure stance
and, in the case of sloping ground,
stand above the log.
K
.1.. Log.is.lying.on.the.ground:
Saw through the log completely
from above and ensure at the
end of the cut not to contact the
ground.
If you can turn the tree trunk, saw
two-thirds of the way through it.
Then turn the trunk around and
saw the rest of the way through
from above.

.2.. Log.is.supported.at.one.
end:
Start sawing from the bottom and
work your way up (with the up-
per edge of the bar) a third of the
way into the diameter of the trunk
to prevent splitting. Then saw from
the top downwards with the lower
edge of the bar towards the first
cut to prevent the bar from becom-
ing jammed in the wood.
M
3.. Log.is.supported.at.both.
ends:
Start from the top and work down
(with the lower edge of the bar)
to a third of the diameter of the
trunk. Then saw from underneath
with the upper edge of the bar
until the two cuts meet.
N
.4.. Sawing.on.a.sawhorse:
Hold the electric chainsaw steady
with both hands, keeping the
saw in front of you while saw-
ing. Once the saw is through the
wood, guide the machine passed
you on the right (1). Hold your left
arm as straight as you can (2).
Watch out for the falling trunk.
Position yourself to prevent any
danger from the separated trunk.
Watch your feet. The trunk may
cause injuries when falling. Keep
your balance (3).
O Limbing
Limbing is the designation for the sawing off
of branches and boughs from a felled tree.

tension.
• Do not remove support branches until
after the sawing off.
• Branches under tension must be sawed
from below to above, in order to pre-
vent jamming of the chainsaw.
