forms, a log, or in any position which can cause

you to lose your balance or control of the saw .

IMPORTANT POINTS

caution when cutting small size limbs. Slen-

der material may catch the saw chain and be

whipped toward you or pull you off balance.

branches that are bent or und er pressure.

Avoid being struck by the branch or the

saw when the tension in the wood fibers is

released.

S Keep a clear work area. Frequently clear

branches out of the way to avoid tripping

over them.

LIMBING

S Always limba tree after it is cut down. Only

then can limbing be done safely and prop-

erly.

S Leave the larger limbs underneath the

felled tree to support the tree as you work.

S Start at base of the felled tree and work to-

ward the top, cutting branches and lim bs.

Remove small limbs with one cut.

S Keep the tree between you and the chain

as much as possible.

the cutting techniques described in BUCK-

ING WITHOUT A SUPPORT.

freely hanging limbs. Undercutting could

cause limbs to fall and pinch saw .
