LIMBING
AIR FILTER
S Always limb atree after it is cut down. Only
then can limbing be done safely and prop-
erly.
CAUTION: Do not clean filter in gasoline or
other flammable solvent to avoid creating a
fire hazard or producing harmful evaporative
emissions.
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 limbs.
Remove small limbs with one cut.
S Keep the tree between you and the chain
as much as possible.
A dirty air filter decreases engine perform-
ance and increases fuel consumption and
harmful emissions. Always clean after every
5
Cleaning the air filter:
hours of operation.
S Remove larger, supporting branches with
the 1/3, 2/3 cutting techniques described in
the bucking section.
S Clean the cover and the area around it to
keep dirt and sawdust from falling into the
carburetor chamber when the cover is re-
moved.
S Always use an overcut to cut small and
freely hanging limbs. Undercutting could
cause limbs to fall and pinch saw.

S
Remove the parts as illustrated.
Wash the filter in soap and water.
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 fist cut 1/3 of the way
through the bottom of the limb.
Next make a 2nd cut all the way
through the limb. Then cut a
third overcut leaving a 1 to 2 inch
collar from the trunk of the tree.
