LIMBING AND PRUNING
WARNING: Be alert for and gu ard
against kickback. Do not allow the mov-
ing chain to contact any other branches
or objects at the nose of the guide bar
when limbing or pruning. Allowing such
contact c an result in serious injury.
WARNING: Never climb into a tree
to limb or prune. Do not stand on lad-
ders, platforms, a log, or in any position
which can caus e you to lose your bal-
ance or control of the s aw.
IMPORTANT POINTS
S Wat ch out for spring poles. Spring poles
are small size limbs which can whip to-
war d you or pull you off balance. Use
extreme cauti on when cutti ng small size
limbs.
S Be alert for spring back from any
branches that are bent or under pres-
sure. Avo i d being str u ck by the br anc h
or the saw when the tension in the wood
fiber s is released.
S Frequently clear branches out of the
way to avoid trippi ng over them.
LIMBING
S Limb a tree only after it is cut down.
S Leave the larger limbs underneath the
fell ed tree to support the tr ee as you
work.
S Start at the base of the fell ed tree and
work toward the top, cutti ng branches
and li mbs. Remove smal l limbs wit h one

BUCKING
WITHOUT A SUPPORT.
S Always use an overcut to cut small and
freel y hanging l i mbs. Undercutting
could cause limbs to fall and pinch the
saw.
PRUNING
WARNING: Limit pruning to limbs
shoulder height or below. Do not cu t if
branches are higher than your shoulder.
Get a professional to do the job.
S 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.
S Next make a seco nd c ut all the way
through the limb.
S 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.
