Second Cut

Finishing Cut
Fig. 25
• Now make your finishing cut from the topside of the branch
smoothly and neatly against the main member so the bark
will grow back to seal the wound.
• Release the trigger ON/OFF switch as soon as the cut is
completed. Failure to follow proper cutting procedures will
result in the bar and chain binding and becoming pinched or
trapped in the limb.
Limbing
Limbing is the process of removing branches from a fallen tree.
• You should cut limbs one at a time. Remove the cut limbs
from the work area often to help keep the work area clean
and safe.
• Cut branches under tension from the bottom up to avoid
binding the pole chain saw.
• Keep the tree between you and the pole chain saw while
limbing. Cut from the side of the tree opposite the branch
you are cutting.
If the Saw Becomes Pinched or Trapped
1. Wait for the blade to stop, wait five minutes for the saw to
cool, unplug the power cord, and wear gloves to protect your
hands from the chain teeth.
2. If you can reach the limb from the ground, lift the limb while
holding the saw. This should release the "pinch" and free the
saw.
3. If the saw is still trapped, call a professional for assistance.
Minimize Kickback
Kickback may occur when the moving chain contacts an object
at the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar or when the wood
closes in and pinches the pole chain saw in the cut. Contact at
the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar can cause the chain
to dig into the object and stop the chain for an instant. The result
is a lightning-fast reverse reaction, which kicks the guide bar up
and back toward the operator. If the pole chain saw is pinched
along the top of the guide bar, the guide bar can be driven
rapidly back toward the operator. Either of these reactions can
cause loss of saw control, which can result in serious injury. Do
not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into the saw.
As a pole chain saw user, you should take several steps to keep
your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
Take the following precautions to minimize kickback:
• Before you start the unit, make sure the pole chain saw is not
contacting any object.
• Always grip the pole and handle firmly with both hands when
the unit is running. Place one hand on the pole and your
other hand on the rear handle with your thumbs and fingers
encircling the pole and handle. A firm grip combined with
proper positioning of the handle against your body will help
you maintain control of the saw if kickback occurs.
• Make sure that the area in which you are cutting is free from
obstructions.
• Do not let the kickback danger zone area of the guide bar
contact a log, branch, fence, or any other obstruction that could
be hit while you are operating the pole chain saw (Fig. 15).
• Always cut with the unit running at full speed. Fully squeeze
the ON/OFF trigger and maintain a steady
cutting speed.
• Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection.
• Extend the pole only to the length required to reach
the limb cut. Do not extend the rear handle above
waist height.
