TRIMHING
B_NCN[S:
Before cutting
any branch, you must consider
the following:
1. is the branch heavy, will it damage
anything
when it falls?
* Large branches should
be cut in small
sections starting at the farthest end from
the tree.
* Always
check where the branch will fall
BEFORE commencing
the cut.
* Never stand under a branch being cut.
* Never cut two branches at once.
2.
Will the branch split before it is cut
through?
(See Fig.R1,R2.)
* To prevent splitting,
use the JawSaw
inverted,
make a small cut (less than 1/3
diameter
of the limb) from the underside.
* Then turn the JawSaw over to the
normal
position
and cut from top down,
slightly
further out from the trunk than the
initial undercut.
3.
Isthe
branch undertension,
will itspring
suddenly
or trap the saw when it is cut?
* Always
stand outside the path of a
springy
branch. It can strike suddenly
with
