LIMBING
S Limb a tree only after it is cut down.
S Leave the larger limbs underneath the
felled tree to support the tree as you
work.
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.
S Remove larger branches with the cut-
ting techniques described in
WITHOUT A SUPPORT.
S Always use an overcut to cut small
and freely hanging limbs. Undercut-
ting could cause limbs to fall and pinch
the saw.

easily on the second cut.

limb protrudes 1 to 2 inches from the
trunk of the tree.
