LIMBING AND PRUNING

WARNING:

Be alert for and guard

against kickback. Do not allow the moving

chain to contact any other branches or ob-

jects at the nose of the guide bar when limb-

ing or pruning. Allowing such contact can re-

sult in serious injury.

WARNING:

Never climb into a tree

to limb or prune. Do not stand on ladders,

platforms, a log, or in any position which can

cause you to lose your balance or control of

the saw.

IMPORTANT POINTS

S

Work slowly, keeping both hands firmly

gripped on the saw. Maintain secure foot-

ing and balance.

S

Watch out for springpoles. Springpoles

are small size limbs which can catch the

saw chain and whip toward you or pull you

off balance. Use extreme caution when

cutting s mall size limbs.

S

Be alert for springback. Watch out for

branches that are bent or under pressure.

Avoid being struck by the branch or the

saw when the tension in the wood fibers is

released.

S

Keep a clear work area. Frequently clear

branches out of the way to avoid tripping

over them.

LIMBING

S

Always limb a tree after it is cut down. Only

then can limbing be done safely and prop-

erly.

S

Leave the larger limbs underneath the

felled tree to support the tree as you work.

S

Start at the base of the felled tree and work

toward the top, cutting branches and

limbs. Remove small limbs with one cut.

S

Keep the tree between you and the chain.

Cut from the side of the tree opposite the

branch you are cutting.

S

Remove larger, supporting branches with

the cutting techniques described in BUCK-

ING WITHOUT A SUPPORT.

S

Always use an overcut to cut small and

freely hanging limbs. Undercutting could

cause limbs to fall and pinch the saw.

PRUNING

WARNING:

Limit pruning to limbs

shoulder height or below. Do not cut if

branches are higher than your shoulder. Get

a professional to do the job.

S

Make your fist cut

1/3

of the way

through the bottom of the limb.

S

Next make a 2nd cut all the way

through the limb. Then cut a third

overcut leaving a 1 to 2 inch collar from

the truck of the tree.
