strike any utility line or cause any property 
damage. If the tree does make contact with 
any utility line, the company should be 
notified immediately.
The chain saw operator should keep on the 
uphill side of the terrain as the tree is likely to 
roll or slide downhill after it is felled.

 An escape path should be planned and 

cleared as necessary before cuts are started. 
The escape path should extend back and 
diagonally to the rear of the expected line of 
fall.

 Before felling is started, consider the 

natural lean of the tree, the location of larger 
branches and the wind direction to judge 
which way the tree will fall.
Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails staples, 
and wire from the tree.

Notching undercut:

 Make the notch (x-w) 

1/3 the diameter of the tree, perpendicular 
to the direction of falls as make the lower 
horizontal notching cut first. This will help to 
avoid pinching either the saw chain or the 
guide bar when the second notch is being 
made.

Felling back cut:

 Make the felling back cut 

(Y) at least 50 mm higher than the horizontal 
notching cut. Keep the felling back cut parallel 
to the horizontal notching cut. Make the felling 
back cut so enough wood is left to act as a 
hinge. The hinge wood keeps the tree from 
twisting and falling in the wrong direction. Do 
not cut through the hinge.
As the felling gets close to the hinge the tree 
should begin to fall. If there is any chance that the 
tree may not fall in desired direction or it may rock 
back and bind the saw chain, stop cutting before 
the felling back cut is complete and use wedges 
of wood, plastic, or aluminum to open the cut and 
drop the tree along the desired line of fall.
When the tree begins to fall remove the chain saw 
from the cutting, stop the motor, put the chain saw 
down, and then use the retreat path planned. Be 
alert for overhead limbs falling and watch your 
footing.
To complete the felling operation, drive a wedge 
(Z) into the horizontal cut.
Beware of falling branches when the tree starts to 
move.

Limbing a tree (See Fig. Q)

Limbing is removing the branches from a fallen 
tree. When limbing leave larger lower limbs 
to support the log off the ground. Remove the 
small limbs in one cut as illustrated. Branches 
under tension should be cut from the bottom 
up to avoid binding the chain saw.

Bucking a log (See Fig. R)

Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is 
important to make sure your footing is firm 
and your weight is evenly distributed on both 
feet. When possible, the log should be raised 
and supported by the use of limbs, logs or 
chocks. Follow the simple directions for easy 
cutting.
When the log is supported along its entire as 
illustrated, it is cut from the top (overbuck).
When the log is supported on one end, 
as illustrated, cut 1/3 the diameter from 
the underside (underbuck). Then make the 
finished cut by overbucking to meet the first 
cut. (See Fig. S)
When the log is supported on both ends, as 
illustrated, cut 1/3 the diameter from the top 
(overbuck). Then make the finished cut by 
underbucking the lower 2/3 to meet the first 
cut. (See Fig. T)

WARNING: (See Fig. U)

•   If on slope, make sure log will not 

roll down hill. Secure log by using 

wooden stakes. Drive wooden stakes 

into ground on downhill side of log. 

Stand on uphill side of log while 

cutting. Log may roll after cutting.

•   Never try cutting through two logs 

at same time. This could increase the 

risk of kickback.

•   While cutting log, never hold log with 

your hand, leg, or foot.

•   While cutting log, never allow another 

person to hold log.

•   Turn off and remove the battery pack 

from the saw before moving from one 

place to another.
