LIMBING AND PRUNING(See Figure 8-9)
This unit is designed for trimming small branches and limbs up to 6 in. (15.2 cm) in diameter. For
best results, observe the following precautions:
• Plan the cut carefully. Be aware of the direction in which the branch will fall.
• Branches may fall in unexpected directions. Do not stand directly under the branch being cut.
• The most typical cutting application is to position the unit at an angle of 60° or less, depending

• Keep the tree between you and the chain while limbing. Cut from the side of the tree opposite
of the branch you are cutting.
• Do not cut from a ladder; this is extremely dangerous. Leave this operation for professionals.

• Keep bystanders at least 50 ft. (15 m) away.
