SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Limbing
Cutting trees and branches that are in tension
Preparations:
WARNING! Most kickback accidents happen
during limbing! Pay close attention to the
position of the kickback zone of the bar
when you are limbing branches that are in
tension!
!
Work out which side is in tension and where the point of
maximum tension is (i.e. where it would break if it was bent
even more).
Make sure that you can stand and move about safely.Work on
the left side of the trunk. Work as close as possible to the
chain saw for maximum control. If possible, let the weight of
the chain saw rest on the trunk.
Decide which is the safest way to release the tension and
whether you are able to do it safely. In complicated situations
the only safe method is to put aside your chain saw and use
a winch.
General advice:
Position yourself so that you will be clear of the tree or branch
when the tension is released.
Keep the trunk between you and the chain saw as you move
along the trunk.
Make one or more cuts at or near the point of maximum
tension. Make as many cuts of sufcient depth as necessary
to reduce the tension and make the tree or branch break at
the point of maximum tension.
Cutting the trunk into logs
See instructions under the heading Basic cutting technique.
Freeing a tree that has fallen badly
Freeing a ”trapped tree”
Never cut straight through a tree or branch that is in
tension!
It is very dangerous to remove a trapped tree and there is high
accident risk.
The safest method is to use a winch.
