IMPORTANT POINTS
S
Work slowly, keeping both hands firmly
gripped on the saw. Maintain secure foot-
ing and balance.
nd Cut
S
Watch out for springpoles. Use extreme
caution when cutting small size limbs.
Slender material may catch the saw
chain and be whipped toward you or pull
you off balance.
Be alert for springback. Watch out for
branches that are bent or under pressure
as you are cutting to avoid being struck
by the branch or the saw when the ten-
sion in the wood fibers is released.
Keep a clear work area. Frequently clear
branches out of the way to avoid tripping
over them.

Always limb a tree after it is cut down.
Only then can limbing be done safely and
properly.
Leave the larger limbs underneath the
felled tree to support the tree as you
work.
Start at the base of the felled tree and
work toward the top, cutting branches
and limbs. Remove small limbs with one

If saw becomes pinched or hung in a log,
don’t try to force it out. You can lose con-
trol of the saw resulting in injury and/or
damage to the saw. Stop the saw, drive a
wedge of plastic or wood into the cut until
the saw can be removed easily.
WARNING: Be alert for and guard
S
Restart the saw and carefully reenter the
cut. To avoid kickback and chain dam-
age, do not use a metal wedge. Do not at-
tempt to restart your saw when it is
pinched or hung in a log.

chain to contact any other branches or ob-
jects at the nose of the guide bar when limb-
ing or pruning. Allowing such contact can re-
sult in serious injury.
