place where the branch section lands.
• Saw the lower branches of the tree off
first in order to make it easier for the
branches that have been cut off to fall
to the ground.
• After the cut is completed, the weight
of the saw increases abruptly for the
operator, as the saw is no longer
supported on the branch. There is a
danger that you will lose control of the
device.
• You should only pull the saw out of the
cut with the saw chain running in order
to avoid jamming.
• Do not saw with the tip of the cutting
equipment.
• Do not saw the bulge at the base of
the branch because this will prevent the
tree from healing.
