WARNING: 

Do not stand on any unstable surface while using the product.  

This could include, but is not limited, to ladders, scaffolds, and trees (Fig.40). 

NOTE:

 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. Branches under tension should be cut from the bottom up to avoid binding  

the product (Fig.41).
