WORKING TECHNIQUES

28 – English

Limbing

Make sure that you can stand and move about safely.
Work on the left side of the trunk. Work as close as
possible to the chain saw for maximum control. If possible,
let the weight of the chain saw rest on the trunk.

Keep the trunk between you and the chain saw as you
move along the trunk.

Cutting the trunk into logs

See instructions under the heading Basic cutting
technique.

!

WARNING! A majority of kickback
accidents occur during limbing. Do not
use the kickback zone of the guide bar.
Be extremely cautious and avoid
contacting the log, other limbs or objects
with the nose of the guide bar. Be
extremely cautious of limbs under
tension. They can spring back toward
you and cause loss of control resulting
in injury.
