LIMBING AND PRUNING

WARNING:

Be alert for and guard

against kickback. Do not allow the moving

chain to contact any other branches or objects

at the nose of the guide bar when limbing or

pruning. Allowing such contact can result in

serious injury.

WARNING:

Never climb into a tree to

limb or prune. Do not stand on ladders, plat-

forms, a log, or in any position which can cause

you to lose your balance or control of the saw.

IMPORTANT POINTS

S

Work slowly, keeping both hands firmly

gripped on the saw. Maintain secure footing

and balance.

S

Watch out for springpoles. Springpoles are

small size limbs which can catch the saw

chain and whip toward you or pull you off bal-

ance. Use extreme caution when cutting

small size limbs or slender material.

S

Be alert for springback. Watch out for

branches that are bent or under pressure.

Avoid being struck by the branch or the

saw when the tension in the wood fibers is

released.

S

Keep a clear work area. Frequently clear

branches out of the way to avoid tripping

over them.

LIMBING

S

Always limb a tree after it is cut down. Only

then can limbing be done safely and prop-

erly.

S

Leave the larger limbs underneath the felled

tree to support the tree as you work.

S

Start at the base of the felled tree and work

toward the top, cutting branches and limbs.

Remove small limbs with one cut.

S

Keep the tree between you and the chain.

Cut from the side of the tree opposite the

branch you are cutting.

S

Remove larger, supporting branches with

the cutting techniques described in BUCK-

ING WITHOUT A SUPPORT.

S

Always use an overcut to cut small and free-

ly hanging limbs. Undercutting could cause

limbs to fall and pinch the saw.

PRUNING

WARNING:

Limit pruning to limbs

shoulder height or below.

Do not cut if

branches are higher than your shoulder. Get a

professional to do the job.

S

Make your first cut

1/3

of the way through the

bottom of the limb.

S

Next make a 2nd cut

all the way through

the limb.

Then cut a third overcut leaving a

1 to 2 inch (2.5 to 5 cm) collar from the truck

of the tree.
