Limbing a tree (Fig. 12)
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 . 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.
