OPERATION
Do not cut above chest height as a saw held
higher is difficult to control against kickback.
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 limb further out to
reduce the weight. This prevents stripping the
bark from the main member.
Underbuck the branch 1/3 through for your first
cut.
Your second cut should overbuck to drop the
branch off.
Now make your finishing cut smoothly and
neatly against the main member so the bark
will grow back to seal the wound.
WARNING:
If the limbs to be pruned are above chest
height, hire a professional to perform the prun-
ing. Failure to do so could result in death or
serious personal injury.

SPRINGPOLE
SPRINGPOLES
See Figure 23.
A springpole is any log, branch, rooted stump, or
sapling which is bent under tension by other wood
so that it springs back if the wood holding it is cut
or removed. On a fallen tree, a rooted stump has
a high potential of springing back to the upright
position during the bucking cut to separate the
log from the stump. Watch out for springpoles,
they are dangerous.
WARNING:
Springpoles are dangerous and could strike the
operator, causing the operator to lose control
of the chain saw. This could result in severe or
fatal injury to the operator.
