CUTTING THE LIMBS OF FALLEN TREE
Before starting work , check the direction of bending force inside
the log to be cut. Always finish cutting from the opposite side of
the bending direction to prevent the guide bar from being caught
in the cut.
Cut up from the bottom, finish down from
the top.
Saw down halfway, then roll the log over and cut from the opposite
side.
In area A, saw up from the bottom one- third and finish by sawing
down from the top. In area B, saw down from the top one-third and
finish by sawing up from the bottom.
Check to which side the branch to be cut is bent. Begin by making
a cut from the side to which the branch is bent and finish the cut
from the other side.
ALWAYS ENSURE YOUR FOOTHOLD.
DO NOT STAND ON THE LOG.
BE ALERT TO THE ROLLING
