LIMBING AND PRUNING

WARNING: Be alert for and guard against kickback. Do not allow the mov- ing chain to contact any other branches or objects at the nose of the guide bar when limbing or pruning. Allowing such contact can result in serious injury.

WARNING: Never climb into a tree to limb or prune. Do not stand on lad- ders, platforms, a log, or in any position which can cause you to lose your bal- ance or control of the saw.

IMPORTANT POINTS

S Watch out for spring poles. Spring poles are small size limbs which can whip toward you or pull you off bal- ance. Use extreme caution when cut- ting small size limbs.

S Be alert for spring back from any branches that are bent or under pres- sure. Avoid being struck by the branch or the saw when the tension in the wood fibers is released.

S Frequently clear branches out of the way to avoid tripping over them.
