• Thick limbs (greater than 4 inches in diameter)
can splinter or pinch the chain when making a
single cut from the top To avoid pinching or
splintering (Fig 32), first make one shallow
relief cut on the bottom surface of the limb (1),
then cut the limb all of the way through from
the top of the limb (2)

make one smooth cut near the trunk (Fig 33)
