1. Position yourself inside the bend.
2. Start a V-cut on your side, inside the bend. Cut up to
1/4 of the diameter of the trunk, taking care that the
saw does not jam.
3. Remaining on the inside of the bend, move the saw
over to the opposite side.
4. Cut slowly to reduce tension.
Small Trees and Limbs Under Tension.
1. Always stay on the inside of the bend.
2. Make your cut at the breaking point.
3. If possible, cut along the tree/limb.
4. Cut slowly to relieve tension.
5. If you must cut across tree/limb, make two to three
cuts, one inch apart one to two inches deep.
6. Continue to cut deeper until tree/limb bends and
tension is released.
7. Cut tree/limb from outside the bend, after tension
has been released.
IMPORTANT!
To avoid jamming the saw, a V-cut is recommended for
the first cut. Make it in small increments, as illustrated,
to permit the tree to break slowly, giving you time to
back out of the way.
CAUTION!
Stay clear of tree/limb path.
