WELCOME LIMBSAW was invented by Wendell McCracken of Pauls Valley, Oklahoma. A retiree with a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Wendell and his wife Donna raised eight children on their 250 acre pecan and cattle farm where tree trimming was an ongoing family chore. Having invented and patented items his whole life, Wendell came up with the LIMBSAW after his children moved away and left pruning to him and his wife.
SAFETY DANGER: Safety Alert Symbols The SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL indicates there is a potential hazard to personal safety involved and extra safety precaution must be taken. When you see this symbol, be alert and carefully read the message that follows it. In addition to design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.
SAFETY Emergency Preparedness Use Caution Around Hydraulic Systems • Keep a fire extinguisher on your tractor and check the expiration date periodically! • • Keep a well stocked first aid kit on your tractor. • Save In Case of Emergency ( I.C.E ) numbers on your cell phone (including doctors, hospital and 911 services). Worn, lose or malfunctioning hydraulic hoses can cause highly pressurized oil to escape, potentially causing great harm to humans or equipment.
SAFETY Tire & Wheel Safety (cont.) Your Tractor, Skidloader, Backhoe (vehicle) • Never attempt to weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly. Heat increases air pressure resulting in tire explosion causing serious injury or death. Welding can impair the structural integrity by weakening or deforming the wheel. • • To safely inflate tires use a clip-on chuck and extension hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side. DO NOT STAND or SIT IN FRONT OF or OVER the tire assembly.
