 Problem 3.02 - Pruning Before you start work on the pruning crew, you need to demonstrate your knowledge and abilities. Your verbal comments will test your knowledge on basic tree structure, types of pruning and use of pruning tools. You will have to use a hand pruner for a few small cuts and then a handsaw to cut a large limb using the 1-2-3 method. Use the safety gear provided. You will then show which tools should be used to cut specific branches on the tree. These are only marked with clothespins and/or flagging tape. The power shears have been checked and are ready for you to turn on and then off. Demonstrate your shearing technique with the shears off. Return to "About the Exam"
