GENERAL CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS

TRIMMING A TREE (PRUNING)

Avoid kickback. Kickback

WARNING: can result in severe injury or death. See Kickback,

page 6, to avoid risk of kickback.

Do not operate pole saw while in a tree, on a ladder or any other unstable work surface, or in any awkward position. You may lose control of pole saw causing severe injury.

Do not extend arms above shoulders when using pole saw.

Seek professional help if facing conditions beyond your ability.

Trimming a tree is the process of cutting limbs from a living tree. Make sure footing is firm. Keep feet apart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet.

1.Make first cut six inches from tree trunk on underside of limb. Use top of guide bar to make this cut. (Cut 1/3 through diameter of limb, see Fig. 16)

2.Move two to four inches farther out on limb. Make sec- ond cut from above limb. make second cut from above limb. Continue cut until you cut limb off.

3.Make third cut as close to tree trunk as possible on underside of limb stub. Use top of guide bar to make this cut. Cut 1/3 through diameter of stub.

4.Make fourth cut directly above third cut. Cut down to meet third cut. This will remove limb stub.

FELLING

Felling is the term for cutting down a tree. Small trees up to 6-7” (15-18cm) in diameter are usually cut in a single cut. Larger trees require notch cuts. Notch cuts determine the direction the tree will fall.

FELLING A TREE:

A retreat path (A) WARNING: should be planned and

cleared as necessary before cuts are started. The retreat path should extend back and diago- nally to the rear of the expected line of fall, as illustrated in Figure 17.

NOTE: Direction of fall (B) is controlled by the notching cut. Before any cuts are made, consider the location of larger branches and natural lean of the tree to determine the way the tree will fall.

If felling a tree on slop- CAUTION: ing ground, the chain saw operator should

keep on the uphill side of the terrain, as the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill after it is felled.

Do not cut down a tree WARNING:during high or changing

winds or if there is a danger to property. Consult a tree professional.

Do not cut down a tree if there is a danger of striking utility wires; notify the utility company before making any cuts.

PS specifications

MTD PS, or Machine Translation Deep Post-Editing System, is an innovative solution designed to improve the accuracy and quality of machine-generated translations. This system is particularly instrumental for businesses and organizations that rely on multilingual communication and require high-quality translations for documents, websites, and other materials.

One of the main features of MTD PS is its deep learning architecture, which employs neural networks to analyze and refine machine-generated translations. This technology allows the system to understand linguistic nuances, context, and semantics, resulting in translations that are not only grammatically correct but also culturally relevant. The adaptability of deep learning means that the system can continuously improve over time by learning from user feedback and various language data.

Another significant characteristic of MTD PS is its user-friendly interface. Designed with usability in mind, the system allows post-editors to review and enhance translations with ease. Suggestions for improvements are generated in real-time, enabling human translators to make quick decisions and apply necessary changes. This collaboration between humans and machines amplifies productivity while maintaining high standards of quality.

MTD PS integrates advanced natural language processing (NLP) technologies, which are crucial for understanding and generating human-like text. With features such as context-aware formatting and terminology management, the system ensures consistency across different translations, streamlining the localization process. NLP capabilities also facilitate the handling of idiomatic expressions and jargon specific to certain fields, enabling the system to cater to various industries.

Additionally, MTD PS is equipped with extensive data analytics features. It allows users to track performance metrics such as translation accuracy and editor efficiency. This data-driven approach helps organizations evaluate the effectiveness of their translation processes and make informed decisions about future localization strategies.

In summary, MTD PS is a powerful tool that leverages deep learning, NLP technologies, and user-centric design to enhance the quality of machine translations. Its ability to adapt, learn, and provide actionable insights makes it an invaluable asset for a wide range of applications in the global marketplace. As businesses continue to expand their reach across borders, systems like MTD PS will play a pivotal role in ensuring effective communication and fostering collaboration across cultures.
