High Limb
Chain Saw by doing the follow-
ing. Practice on low branches first. Cut one or
two branches six to
eight feet above the
ground
then
graduate
to
higher
branches. You
will
quickly
learn
good
cutfrng tectniques
such as undercutting
the
branch's bottom tree bark.You will
also
get
used to taking long
even
strokes
which
result in
less
binding
and
fester
cutting.
Always
use
gloves
and
goggles
or
protective glasses.
PREPARING TO USE
1. Remove
all
parts
of
the saw
from
the
box.The complete
saw has three
parts:
one
24 inch
chain
blade, two 25 foot
yellow polypropylene
control
lines,
one
weight bag.
2, Straighten
lines and blades.
Make sure there
are no
kinks
in
the blade or
knots in the ropes.
3.
Attach weight to control
line with snap.
4. Decide what branch
you
want to cut and
plan
where
you
want to stand
so
you
are clear of
talling
limbs.
s.Toss
the
weight
over
the
branch
you
want
to
cut
-
srving
the
weight
lasso
fashion;
centrifugal
force
will lift
the
weight
with
little
efbrt.
6.
As
you
pull
the blade
up
over the limb
step
back
fromunder the
limb
so
that
the
control
ropes and blades
are at a
z[5
degree
angle to the
ground.
The FLIP TAB
at the
end of the chain
blade
will
"flip'the
blade
so the cutting
edge
is
pointed
down
toward
the limb. Position
blade
as close
to
the
base
of
the branch
as
possible
before
cutting.
(See
figure below.)
BEGI]I
TO CUT
7. Saw
limb
in
brisk,
long, even
strokes
by
pulling
alternately
on
each
control
line.
Use
the
full length of
the
saw
blade
on each
stroke.
MAKE
SUREYOU
STAND
OFFTO
ONE
SIDE
ASYOU CUT'
SO
FALLING
LIMB
DOES
NOT
HITYOU.
Also'
stay
in
one
place
when
you
cut
a
particular
branch,
so the
blade
keeps cutting
along
lhe
same
plane.
Changing
the angle
of the
cut
halfway
through
a cut
may cause
binding.
Do
not let the
ropes
cross as
binding
can
result.
8. Undercut,
it neces-
sary, to
prevent
bark
from
peeling
back.
Undercut
one side;
then
the other.
Pull
blade
along
the
underside
of a
branch
as shown.
The limb
will
be
sawed
ihrough
quickly.
There's no
need to
paint
the
wound
left
by
removing
a
branch.
