How do I limb a tree? Limbing is the process of removing branches from a fallen tree. You should cut limbs one at a time. Remove the cut limbs from the work area often to help keep the work area clean and safe. Cut branches under tension from the bottom up to avoid binding the pole chain saw. Keep the tree between you and the pole chain saw while limbing. Cut from the side of the tree opposite the branch you are cutting. Related articles Why Isn't my unit turning on?
