ing and felling operations at the same

time, provide plenty of distance be-

tween operations. Provide distance of

at least twice the height of tree being

trees. Use the chain saw without

pole attachment and only if you are

trained or have expert help.

with the polesaw. Use the chain saw

only, with extreme care. Slender mat-

ter may catch in the chain and be

whipped toward you. This could also

is under tension, use extreme caution.

Be alert for wood springing back.

When wood tension is released, limb

could spring back and strike operator

causing severe injury or death.

Do Not Force Saw While Cutting

ter and safer at the rate for which it was

intended.
