BASIC TECHNIQUES FOR MAKING FELLING,
LIMBING AND BUCKING CUTS
the
The intention of the following information is to
provide you with the general introduction to wood
cutting techniques.
WARNING
○ This information does not cover all specifi c
situations, which may depend on diff erences
in terrain, vegetation, kind of wood, form and
size of trees, etc. Consult your servicing dealer,
forestry agent or local forestry schools for advice
on specifi c woodcutting problems in your area.
This will make your work more effi cient and safer.
○ Avoid cutting in adverse weather conditions,
such as dense fog, heavy rain, bitter cold, high
winds, etc.
Adverse weather is often tiring to work in and
creates potentially dangerous conditions such
as slippery ground.
High winds may force the tree to fall in an
unexpected direction causing property damage
or personal injury.
CAUTION
Never use a chain saw to pry or for any purpose
for which it is not intended.
WARNING
○ Avoid stumbling on obstacles such as stumps,
roots, rocks, branches and fallen trees. Watch
out for holes and ditches. Be extremely cautious
when working on slopes or uneven ground.
Shut off the engine when moving from one work
place to another.
Always cut at wide open throttle. A slow moving
chain can easily catch and force the saw to jerk.
○ Never use the saw with only one hand.
You cannot control the saw properly and you
may lose control and injure yourself severely.
Keep the saw body close to your body to improve
control and reduce strain.
