WARNING:
down to undercut. The saw cannot be con-
trolled in this position.
Always make your first cut on the compression
side of the log. The compression side of the log
is where the pressure of the log's weight is con-
centrated.

LIMBING AND PRUNING
WARNING:
against kickback. Do not allow the moving chain
to contact any other branches or objects at the
nose of the guide bar when limbing or pruning.
Allowing such contact can result in serious injury.
WARNING:
limb or prune. Do not stand on ladders, platforms,
a log, or in any position which can cause you to
lose your balance or control of the saw.
IMPORTANT POINTS
S Work slowly, keeping both hands firmly gripped
on the saw. Maintain secure footing and bal-
ance.
S Watch out for springpoles. Springpoles are
small size limbs which can catch the saw chain
and whip toward you or pull you off balance.
Use extreme caution when cutting small size
limbs or slender material.
S Be alert for springback. Watch out for
branches that are bent or under pressure.
Avoid being struck by the branch or the saw
when the tension in the wood fibers is re-
leased.
S Keep a clear work area. Frequently clear
branches out of the way to avoid tripping over
them.
LIMBING
S Always limb a tree after it is cut down. Only
then can limbing be done safely and proper-
ly.
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 to-
ward the top, cutting branches and limbs. Re-
move small limbs with one cut.
S Keep the tree between you and the chain. Cut
from the side of the tree opposite the branch
you are cutting.
