LIMBING
AND
PRUNING
,i_ WARNING:

at the nose of the guide bar when limbing or
pruning.

serious injury,
_,

: Never climb into a tree to
limb or prune,
Do not stand on ladders, plat-
forms, a log, or in any position which can cause

ance.
Use extreme
caution
when cutting
small size limbs or slender material,
• Be alert
for springback.
Watch
out for
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.
• Keep a clear work area.
Frequently
clear
branches
out of the way to avoid tripping
over them.
MMBING

itis cutdown.
Only
then can iimbing 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.
Cut from the side of the tree opposite
the
branch you are cutting.
• Remove
larger, supporting
branches
with
the cutting techniques
described

ING WITHOUT

• Always use an overcut to cut small and free-
ly hanging limbs,
