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.
Al-
lowing such contact
can result in seri-
ous injury.
_WARNING:
Never climb into a
tree to limb or prune. Do not stand on
ladders, platforms,
a log, or in any po-
sition which can cause you to lose
your balance
or control of the saw.
IMPORTANT
POINTS
• Watch out for spring poles. Spring
poles are small size limbs which can
whip toward you or pull you off bal-
ance. Use extreme caution when
cutting small size limbs.
• Be alert for spring back from any
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.
• Frequently
clear branches
out of the
way to avoid tripping over them.
LIMBING
• Limb a tree only after it is cut down.
• Leave the larger limbs underneath
the felled tree to support the tree as
you work.
• Start at the base of the felled tree
and work toward the top, cutting
branches and limbs. Remove small
limbs with one cut.
• Keep the tree between you and the
chain.
• Remove larger branches
with the
cutting techniques
described
in
BUCKING WITHOUT A SUPPORT.
• Always use an overcut to cut small
and freely hanging limbs. Undercut-
ting could cause limbs to fall and
pinch the saw.
PRUNING
_IL WARNING:
Limit pruning to limbs
shoulder height or below. Do not cut if
branches
are higher than your shoul-
der. Get a professional
to do the job.
• Make your first cut 1/3 of the way
through the bottom of the limb. This
cut will make the limb sag so that it
falls easily on the second
cut.
• Next make a second
cut all the way
through
the limb.
• Finish the pruning operation
by using
an overcut so that the stump of the
limb protrudes
1 to 2 inches (3-5 cm)
from the trunk of the tree.
