Limbing
Limbing is the
process of removing
the branches from a
fallen tree. Check the
direction in which a
branch will bend before
cutting it. Always cut
on the opposite side to
the bending direction
so that the guide bar
is not pinched in the cut. For large limbs that cannot be removed
in one cut, make an initial cut from the bent side and finish by
sawing from the opposite direction. Do not remove limbs that are
supporting the fallen tree on the ground until the tree has been cut
into lengths.
Pruning
Pruning is the removal of a limb
or branch from a standing tree.
7. SAWING TECHNIQUES6. APPLICATIONS
APPLICATIONS
WARNING! IF THE CHAIN COMES IN CONTACT WITH A
HARD OBJECT, VISUALLY INSPECT THE CHAIN & BAR
FOR DAMAGE. IF THE CHAIN OR BAR IS DAMAGED, DO
NOT CONTINUE TO OPERATE THE POLE PRUNER.
WARNING! DO NOT OPERATE THE POLE PRUNER
IN A TREE, ON A LADDER, FROM A ROOFTOP, OR
ANY UNSTABLE SUPPORT. OPERATION OF A POLE
PRUNER IN THIS MANNER COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY.
WARNING! ENSURE APPROPRIATE CARE IS TAKEN
WHEN CUTTING ABOVE SHOULDER HEIGHT.
• When removing branches,
hold the pruner at an angle
ranging from a maximum
60° to horizontal in order to
avoid being struck by a falling
branch.
• Saw off the lower branches
on the tree first. By doing so, it
is easier for the cut branches to
fall to the ground.
• Do not saw with the tip of the
guide bar. This could lead to
kick back and possible injury.
• Only pull the pruner out of
the cut with the chain running.
By doing so, you can prevent it
from getting jammed.
• At the end of the cut, the
weight of the pruner suddenly
increases for the user, because
it is no longer supported on
the branch. There is the risk of
losing control of the pruner.
