To use the limbing technique

Note: If you are to use the limbing technique on thick
branches, use the same procedure as for the cutting
technique.
1. Keep the larger, lower branches on the tree to give it
support on the ground.
2. Cut limbs one by one.
3. Cut branches that are in tension from the bottom up.

4. Cut branches piece by piece if necessary.
WARNING: Be careful when you remove
small branches and do not cut bushes or
many small branches at the same time.
Small and light branches can get trapped
by the saw chain and be thrown at you.
This can mean that you can not keep
control of the product, which can cause
serious injury.
5. Work on the left side of the trunk. Be as close as
possible to the product for maximum control. Let the
weight of the product be on the trunk if possible.

WARNING: Most kickback accidents
occur during limbing. Do not touch the
trunk, other limbs or objects with the
guide bar tip or the kickback zone. Be
careful with limbs that are in tension.
They can be thrown at you and cause
serious injury.
6. Keep the trunk between you and the product as you
move along the trunk.

To use the tree felling technique

WARNING: You must have much
experience to fell a tree. Operators without
experience must not fell trees.

To keep a safe distance

1. Make sure that persons around you keep a safe
distance at a minimum of 2 1/2 tree lengths.
2. Make sure that no person is in the risk zone before
or during felling.

To calculate the felling direction

1. Examine in which direction it is necessary for the
tree to fall. The goal is to fell it in a position where
you can limb and cut the trunk easily. It is also
important that you are stable on your feet and can
move about safely.
WARNING: If it is dangerous or not
possible to fell the tree in its natural
direction, fell the tree in a different
direction.
2. Examine the natural fall direction of the tree. For
example the tilt and bend of the tree, wind direction,
the location of the branches and weight of snow.
3. Examine if there are obstacles, for example other
trees, power lines, roads and/or buildings around.
