5.5.
Cutting tips.
5.5.1.
Proper Cutting Stance.
5.5.1.1.
Balance your weight with both feet on solid ground.
5.5.1.2.
Your body should always be to the left of the chain line.
5.5.1.3.
The most typical cutting application is to position the unit at an angle of 60° or less
depending on the specific situation (Fig. 26). As the angle of the pole chain saw shaft to
the ground increases, the difficulty of making the first cut (from the underside of limb)
increases.
5.5.2.
Basic Cutting Procedure.
5.5.2.1.
This unit is designed for trimming small branches and limbs up to 7.1 in. (180 mm) in
diameter depending on the wood type. Practice cutting a few small limbs using the
following technique to get the “feel” of using the saw before you begin a major sawing
operation.
5.5.2.2.
Take the proper stance in front of the tree with the saw OFF (Fig. 26).
5.5.2.3.
Squeeze the trigger and let the chain accelerate to full speed before entering the cut.
5.5.2.4.
Keep the saw running the entire time you are cutting; maintain a steady speed.
5.5.2.5.
Allow the chain to cut for you; exert only a slight downward pressure. If you force
the cut, damage to the bar, chain or unit can result.
5.5.2.6.
PUSH and PULL – This reaction force is always opposite to the direction the chain is
moving when it is in contact with the wood. Thus, the operator must be ready to control
the PULL when cutting on the bottom edge of the bar, and PUSH when cutting along the
top edge.
5.5.2.7.
Do not put pressure on the saw at the end of the cut.
5.5.3.
Pruning
5.5.3.1.
Pruning is the process of trimming limbs from a live tree.
5.5.3.2.
Remove long branches in several stages.
5.5.3.3.
Cut the lower branches first to allow the top braches more room to fall.
5.5.3.4.
When pruning trees, it is important not to make the finishing cut next to the main
limb or trunk until you have cut off the farthest lying limb this will reduce the weight and
prevent stripping the bark from the main member.
5.5.3.5.
Under cut the branch 1/3 through for your first cut. Your second cut should over cut
to drop the branch off (Fig 27). Be prepared to balance the weight of the pole chain saw
when the limb falls.
