Craftsman 358.352680 - Manual (Page 11)

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
orre 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 couid cause limbs to fall and
pinch the saw.
PRUNING
WARNING: Limit pruning to limbs
shouider height or below. Do not cut if
branches are higher than your shoul­
der. Get a professional to do the job.
• Make your first cut 1/3 of the way
through the bottom of the limb.
• Next make a second cut all the way
through the limb.
• Finish the pruning operation by using
an overcut so that the stump of the
limb protrudes 1 to 2 inches from the
trunk of the tree.
