WARNING:
If the limbs to be pruned are above shoulder
height, hire a professional to perform the prun-
ing. Cutting above shoulder height could result
in an accident, causing serious personal injury.
CUTTING SPRINGPOLES
See Figure 32.
A springpole is any log, branch, rooted stump, or
sapling which is bent under tension by other wood
so that it springs back if the wood holding it is cut
or removed. On a fallen tree, a rooted stump has
a high potential of springing back to the upright
position during the bucking cut to separate the log
from the stump. Watch out for springpoles — they
are dangerous.
WARNING:
Springpoles are dangerous and could strike the
operator, causing the operator to lose control
of the chain saw. This could result in severe or
fatal injury to the operator.
