LIMBING
• Limb a tree only after it is cut down.
• Leave the larger limbs underneath the
felled tree to support the tree as you
work.
• Start at the base of the felled tree and
work toward the top, cutting branches
and limbs. Remove small limbs with
one cut.
° Keep the tree between you and the
chain.
• Remove larger, supporting branches
with the 1/3, 2/3 cutting techniques de-
scribed in the bucking section.
• Always use an overcut to cut small
and freely hanging limbs. Undercut-
ting could cause limbs to fall and
pinch the saw.
