„ Keep the tree between you and the chain saw while limb-
ing. Cut from the side of the tree opposite the branch
you are cutting.
PRUNING
See Figure 22.
Pruning is trimming limbs from a live tree.
„ Work slowly, keeping both hands on the chain saw with
a firm grip. Always make sure your footing is secure and
your weight is distributed evenly on both feet.
„ Do not cut from a ladder, this is extremely dangerous.
Leave this operation for professionals.
„ Do not cut above chest height as a saw held higher is
difficult to control against kickback.
„ When pruning trees it is important not to make the finish-
ing cut next to the main limb or trunk until you have cut
off the limb further out to reduce the weight. This prevents
stripping the bark from the main member.
„ Underbuck the branch 1/3 through for your first cut.
„ Your second cut should overbuck to drop the branch off.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the bat-
tery pack from the product when cleaning or performing
any maintenance.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1, along with hearing and head
protection. Failure to do so could result in objects being
thrown into your eyes resulting in possible serious injury.
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts could create a hazard or cause
product damage.
OPERATION
„ Now make your finishing cut smoothly and neatly against
the main member so the bark will grow back to seal the
wound.
WARNING:
If the limbs to be pruned are above chest height, hire a
professional to perform the pruning. Failure to do so could
result in death or serious personal injury.
SPRINGPOLES
See Figure 23.
A springpole is any log, branch, rooted stump, or sapling
which is bent under tension by other wood so that it springs
back if the wood holding it is cut or removed. On a fallen
tree, a rooted stump has a high potential of springing back
to the upright position during the bucking cut to separate
the log from the stump. Watch out for springpoles, they are
dangerous.
WARNING:
Springpoles are dangerous and could strike the operator,
causing the operator to lose control of the chain saw.
This could result in severe or fatal injury to the operator.
