From your groundsman perspective, if you send a load of forks down that he has to cut before chipping there won't be much love.

Get rid of your stubs as well, will allow better work position for cut accuracy and less painful if you swing into one. 👍

buy a pair of spikes !

rope yourself in properly at one point both your lines where slack !

if you slip you will fall as far as the the slack possibly damaging rope and you have a saw which is running which could damage ropes or more importantly yourself !

because your ropes where slack you where not as stable as you could be and i think this prevented you from doing some of your cuts to a better standard !

remove all lower branches completely before moving up to higher branches

as dropping a branch on top of another branch is not clever it can get hung up and if you do it to a larger branch this can endanger you and your ground staff plus it might be redirected on to a target hope this helps

Relax and take your time. Line up the saw right. Remember full revs on the saw when cutting, but it doesnt mean youve gotta rush. Be controlled bud👍

Also lucky the groundsmen was watching you lol otherwise hed have a face full of wood

Thanks everybody for the advice! These would be very helpful in the future!

Yer you just missed your groundy with that bit of wood and tell him to invest in a helmet

Also to me, you know the basic cuts but used them the wrong way round in a sense.

 

First couple that was clear could have been snap cutted, the one over the water could have had 'bird mouth' gob in it then slowly cut from the top so it swung underthen cut through or add a gob at 45degress to the left or right of where u ended up cutting. So in effect your steering the branch away from it.

The one the almost got hung up could have been spear cut or as above.

But all this will come as second nature the more you do.

Dont forget to ask your groundy for opinion he might see something you havent noticed yet 👍 always keep good comms with your team

Cheers dan

 

O also with the 150 try not to force it through a cut. Its a great saw and will cut in it own time. Lol.
