To cut trees and branches that are in tension
1. Figure out which side of the tree or branch that is in
tension.
2. Figure out where the point of maximum tension is.
3. Examine which is the safest procedure to release the
tension.
Note: In some situations the only safe procedure is
to use a winch and not your product.
4. Keep a position where the tree or branch can not hit
you when the tension is released.
5. Make one or more cuts of sufficient depth necessary
to decrease the tension. Cut at or near the point of
maximum tension. Make the tree or branch break at
the point of maximum tension.
