any other branches
or ob-
jects at the nose of the guide bar when limb-

sult in serious

POINTS
• Work
slowly,

ing and balance,

Springpoles
are smatl size limbs which
can catch the

by the branch
or the
saw when the tension in the wood fibers is
released.
• Keep a clear work area,
Frequently
clear
branches
out of the way to avoid tripping
over them,
LIMBING
• Always limb a tree after it is cut down. Only
then can limbing be done safely and prop-
erly,
• 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.
Out from the side of the tree opposite
the
branch you are cutting.
• Remove
larger, supporting
branches
with
the cutting techniques
described
in BUCK-
ING WITHOUT
A SUPPORT.
• Always
use an overcut
to cut small and
freely hanging
limbs.
Undercutting
could
cause limbs to fall and pinch the saw.
PRUNING
_bWARNING:
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.
•
Make
your
fist
cut
1/3 of the way
through the bottom of the limb.
•

make
a 2nd
cut all the
way
through
the limb.
Then
cut a third
