WARNING
Changing weight distribution when pruning
Risk of injury due to uncontrolled movement of the trunk
Select the work area so that no danger arises.
Prune in the direction of growth.
Illustration W
Prune from top to bottom.
Leave larger branches below as supports to keep
the tree above the ground.
Support the chainsaw as much as possible.
Do not prune while standing on the trunk.
