If you cut your scarf correctly, the branch/leader should not go anywhere - hence the use of a pull rope and in some cases wedges.

When I'm heading out a leader, I like to be on a 90* angle from the face and backcut. Again if you've cut your scarf correctly it's only going to go 1 of 2 ways back or forth.
