The saw will tend to push back toward you. 2nd Cut Using a support stand WARNING: Never turn saw upside down to undercut.
S Make your first cut 1/3 of the way through the bottom of the limb. This cut will make the limb sag so that it falls easily on the second cut. S Next make a second cut all the way through the limb. S Finish the pruning operation by using an overcut so that the stump of the limb protrudes 1 to 2 inches (3--5 cm) from the trunk of the tree. LIMBING S Limb a tree only after it is cut down. S Leave the larger limbs underneath the felled tree to support the tree as you work.
