6. When the tree starts to fall, remove the product from
the cut. Stop the motor, put the product down and
use the planned escape path. Be careful of limbs
falling from above and monitor your footing.
To limb a tree
1. Use larger limbs to hold the log off the ground.
2. Remove small limbs in one cut.
3. Cut branches that have tension from the bottom to
the top to prevent pinching the saw chain or the
guide bar.
To buck a log
CAUTION: Do not let the saw chain touch
the ground.
• If the log has support along its full length, cut from
the top of the log (known as overbucking).

• If the log has support on one end, cut 1/3 the
diameter from below the log (known as
underbucking).
• If the log has support on the two ends, cut 1/3 the
diameter from the top. Complete the cut by
underbucking the lower 2/3 of the log to touch the
first cut.
• If you buck a log on a slope, always stay on the
uphill side of the log. Cut through the log while you
keep complete control of the product. Then release
the cutting pressure near the end of the cut while
tightly holding the rear handle and front handle.
