The slanted cut on removing tops...
it is slanted in the aspect to the axis of the brnach, but comes down perpendicular to the grounsd. I think of it as a "spear cut" comes off sharp plunges down. Never used a pull line on this cut, It is inteded for the weight of the branch and gravity to get it straight through the crown.
on small stuff, I will just make a salami cut right through from the top, on bigger stuff, I'll make a curf on the bottom so it will fail sudeen like a jump cut.
