When limbing thick branches you should use the same 
approach as for cutting.

Cut difficult branches piece by piece.

If you have a pile of logs, each log you attempt to cut should 
be removed from the pile, placed on a saw horse or runners 
and cut individually.

Remove the cut pieces from the cutting area. By leaving 
them in the cutting area, you increase the risk for 
inadvertently getting a kickback, as well as increasing the 
risk of losing your balance while working.

The log is lying on the ground. There is little risk of the 
chain jamming or the object splitting. However there is a risk 
that the chain will touch the ground when you finish the cut.

Cut all the way through the log from above. Avoid letting the 
chain touch the ground as you finish the cut. Maintain full 
throttle but be prepared for what might happen.

If it is possible (can you turn the log?) stop cutting about 2/3 
of the way through the log.

Turn the log and finish the cut from the opposite side.

The log is supported at one end. There is a high risk that 
it will split.

Start by cutting from below (about 1/3 of the way through).

Finish by cutting from above so that the two cuts meet.

The log is supported at both ends. There is a high risk that 
the chain will jam.

Start by cutting from above (about 1/3 of the way through).

Finish by cutting from below so that the two cuts meet.
