OPERATION
4. In sawing limbs which have a tendency to split or
tear when making a single saw ush cut, Figure 4, it
is advisable to make more than one cut. The rst cut
is made a few inches from the point of the ush cut
removing the weight of the limb being trimmed out
and leaving a short stub. The stub is then ushed off
as shown in Figure 5. Whenever practical, the cut
shall be treated with tree paint if it is larger than 1
inch in diameter. This technique will avoid breaking
the lateral which you are trying to save or splitting
the remaining limb down the center as the ush cut
is made.
FINAL CUT
THE FIRST CUT IS TO TAKE WEIGHT
OFF BEFORE THE FINAL CUT TO
PREVENT THE LIMB FROM SPLITTING
DOWN THE CENTER.
