S Start at the base of the felled tree and work

toward the top, cutting branches and

limbs. Remove small limbs with one cut.

S Keep the tree between you and the chain.

Cut from the side of the tree opposite the

branch you are cutting.

S Remove larger, supporting branches with

the cutting techniques described in BUCK-

ING WITHOUT A SUPPORT.

freely hanging limbs. Undercutting could

cause limbs to fall and pinch the saw.

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.

S 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 truck of the tree.
