WITH THE CHAIN SAW Bucking 1 Serrated rail For bucking cuts rest the serrated rail shown in the figure on the wood to be cut With the saw chain running saw into the wood using the rear handle to raise the saw and the front one to guide it Use the serrated rail as a pivot Continue the cut by applying slight pressure to the front handle easing the saw back slightly Move the serrated rail further down the timber and raise the front handle again When making several cuts switch the chain saw off between cuts ZACAUTION If the upper edge of the bar is used for cutting the chain saw may be deflected in your direction if the chain becomes trapped For this reason cut with the lower edge so that the saw will be deflected away from your body Cut wood under tension on the pressure side A first Then make the final cut on the tension side B This prevents the bar from becoming trapped Limbing ACAUTION Limbing may only be performed by trained persons A hazard is presented by the risk of kick back When limbing support the chain saw on the trunk if possible Do not cut with the tip of the bar as this presents a risk of kickback Pay particular attention to branches under tension Do not cut unsupported branches from below Do not stand on the felled trunk when limbing Burrowing and parallel to grain cuts ACAUTION Burrowing and parallel to grain cuts may only be car
