Maintenance

LIMBING

SLimb a tree only after it is cut down. S Leave the larger limbs underneath the

felled tree to support the tree as you work.

S Start at the base of the felled tree and work toward the top, cutting branches and limbs. Remove small limbs with one cut.

S Keep the tree between you and the chain.

S Remove larger branches with the cut- ting techniques described in BUCKING WITHOUT A SUPPORT.

S Always use an overcut to cut small and freely hanging limbs. Undercut- ting could cause limbs to fall and pinch the saw.

PRUNING

WARNING: Limit pruning to limbs shoulder height or below. Do not cut if branches are higher than your shoulder. Get a professional to do the job.

S Make your first cut 1/3 of the way through the bottom of the limb. This cut will make the limb sag so that it falls easily on the second cut.

S Next make a second cut all the way

through the limb.

SFinish the pruning operation by using an overcut so that the stump of the limb protrudes 1 to 2 inches from the trunk of the tree.
