Kickback, page 3 to avoid risk of kickback.
WARNING
When cutting limb that is under tension, use extreme caution. Be
alert for wood springing back. When wood tension is released,
limb could spring back and strike operator causing severe injury
or death.
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 (see Figure
14). 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 tinder limb. If pinch occurs, turn saw off, lift limb, and remove
saw.
