Maintenance - Husqvarna 565 Operator's Manual

WARNING: Take great care when
cutting a tree that is in tension. A tree
that is in tension may spring back to its
normal position before or after being cut.
If you position yourself incorrectly or
make the cut in the wrong place the tree
may hit you or the product and cause
you to lose control. Both situations can
cause serious personal injury.
5. If you must cut across tree/limb, make two to three
cuts, one inch apart, one to two inches deep.
