Limbing  is  removing  branches  from  a  fallen  tree.

Make  sure  your  footing  is  firm.  Keep  feet  apart.

Divide  your  weight  evenly  on  both  feet.  Do  not

remove larger limbs under tree that support log off

ground. Remove each limb with one cut (see Figure

15). Clear cut limbs from work area often. This will

help maintain a safe work area.
Make sure you start your cut where limb will not

pinch saw during cutting. To avoid pinching, start cut

on freely hanging limbs from above limb. Start cut on

limbs under tension from under limb. If pinch occurs,

turn saw off, lift limb, and remove saw.

Kickback, pages 4 and 5, to avoid risk 

3.  As felling cut nears hinge, tree should begin to fall.

Note: If needed, drive wedges into felling cut to

control direction of fall. If tree settles back and

pinches chain, drive wedges into felling cut to re-

move saw. Only use wedges made of wood, plastic,

or aluminum. Never use wedge made of steel. This

could cause kickback and damage to chain.

4.  When tree begins to fall, quickly

•  remove saw from felling cut

•  release trigger to turn saw off

•  put saw down

•  exit area using retreat path

4.  Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples, and

wire from tree where you will make felling cuts.

5.  Stay on uphill side when felling tree. Tree could

roll or slide downhill after falling.

A properly placed felling notch will determine direc-

tion tree will fall. Place felling notch on side of tree in

direction you want tree to fall (see Figure 14). Follow

directions below to create a felling notch.
1.  Make lower notch cut as close to ground as pos-

sible. Hold saw so guide bar is horizontal. Cut

1/3 the diameter of tree trunk (see Figure 14).

Note: Always make this horizontal lower notch

cut first. If you make this cut second, tree can

pinch chain or guide bar.

2.  Start upper notch cut the same distance above

first cut as first cut is deep.

Example: If lower notch cut is eight inches deep,

start upper notch cut eight inches above it. Cut

downward at 45° angle. The upper notch cut should

meet end of lower notch cut (see Figure 14).

3.  Remove tree trunk wedge created by notching cuts.

1.  Make felling cut two inches higher than lower

notch cut and on opposite side of tree (see Figure

14). Keep felling cut parallel to lower notch cut.

2.  Cut towards notch.
