Limbing a tree
See page 20.
Limbing is the process of removing the branches from
a fallen tree. When limbing, leave larger lower limbs to
support the log off the ground. Remove the small limbs in
one cut. Branches under tension should be cut from the
bottom up to avoid binding the chainsaw.
Spring poles
See page 20.
A spring pole is any log, branch, rooted stump, or sapling
that is bent under tension by other wood so that it springs
back if the wood holding it is cut or removed.
On a fallen tree, a rooted stump has a high potential of
springing back to the upright position during the bucking
cut to separate the log from the stump. Watch out for spring
poles—they are dangerous. Do not attempt to cut bent
branches or stumps that are under tension unless you are
professionally trained and competent to do so.
WARNING
Spring poles are dangerous and could strike the
operator, causing the operator to lose control of the
chainsaw. This could result in severe or fatal injury to the
operator. This should be done by trained users.

Consequences of improper maintenance, removal,
or modification of safety features, such as the chain
brake, ignition switch, hand guard (front and back),
spiked bumper, chain catcher, guide bar, and low
kickback saw chain may cause the safety features to
not function correctly, thus increasing the potential
for serious injury. Keep your chainsaw professionally
maintained and safe.
Sharpening the chain safely is a skilled task. Have
a worn or dull chain replaced only by an authorised
RYOBI service centre. The part number is available in
the product specification table in this manual.
