Cutting the Limbs
Stand firmly on the ground in a balanced
position that gives you freedom of
movement. Ensure that you will not slip.
Start at the bottom of the tree and work
your way to the top, removing branches on
the opposite of the tree. ALWAYS cut away
from you. Beware of kickback which
happens when your blade gets caught in the
wood being sawn.
Remove the debris and cut
limbs as you go, placing
them in a safe position that
does not impede your work.
Cutting the limbs off close
to the tree trunk makes the
resulting trunk easy to roll at
the end of your limbing.
Beware of the tree trunk
moving as you remove
heavier limbs.
