How
TO
USE
YOUR
LIMB
SAW:
When beginning a cut, situate saw on branch and lower your
loader until you make contact with the limb. The weight of the saw
and spring is all that is needed to make each cut. On large limbs,
it may be necessary to lower your loader to complete a cut.
Do not make cuts with the nose of the bar. Be very careful to
avoid contact with other limbs or the body of the tree with the
nose of the bar.
Always make cuts with chain running in forward motion.
Always make cuts in a downward motion cutting from the top of
branch through the bottom.
