Limbing is removing branches from a fallen tree.
„ Work slowly, keeping both hands on the chainsaw with
a firm grip. Always make sure your footing is secure and
your weight is distributed evenly on both feet.
„ Leave the larger support limbs under the tree to keep the
tree off the ground while cutting.
„ Limbs should be cut one at a time. Remove the cut limbs
from the work area often to help keep the work area clean
and safe.
„ Branches under tension should be cut from the bottom
up to avoid binding the chainsaw.
„ Keep the tree between you and the chainsaw while limb-
ing. Cut from the side of the tree opposite the branch
you are cutting.
PRUNING
See Figure 18.
Pruning is trimming limbs from a live tree.
„ Work slowly, keeping both hands on the chainsaw 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.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the
battery pack from the product when cleaning or perform-
ing any maintenance.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1 as well as head and hearing
protection when operating this equipment. Failure to do
so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes
and other possible serious injuries.
OPERATION
„ Underbuck the branch 1/3 through for your first cut.
„ Your second cut should overbuck to drop the branch off.
„ 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 19.
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 opera-
tor, causing the operator to lose control of the chainsaw.
This could result in severe or fatal injury to the operator.
