CAUTION! Risk of injury! Never saw off
branches when you are standing on the tree
trunk. Keep an eye on the kickback area
when branches are under tension.
(Fig. M)
• Only remove support branches after cut-
ting to length.
• Saw branches under tension from the
bottom upwards to prevent the tool from
jamming.
• Use the same technique as for Cutting to
length, p. 43 when sawing off thicker
branches.
• Work to the left of the trunk and as close
as possible to the tool. If possible, the
weight of the tool should rest on the
trunk.
• Change location to saw off branches bey-
ond the trunk.
• Cut branched branches to length indi-
vidually. Leave larger branches pointing
downwards and supporting the tree for
the time being.
• Separate smaller branches with one cut.
Cutting to length
Cutting to length means sawing felled tree
trunks into small sections.
• Ensure that you have a secure footing
and balance your body weight evenly on
both feet.
• Support the trunk if possible. The trunk
should be underpinned and supported by
branches, beams or wedges.
• Make sure that the saw chain does not
touch the ground when sawing.
• Stand above the trunk on sloping terrain.
Techniques for cutting to length
Trunk lying on the ground (Fig. I)
Saw all the way through the trunk from
above, taking care not to touch the ground at
the end of the cut. If it is possible to turn the
trunk, saw through 2/3 of it. Then turn the
trunk over and saw through the rest of the
trunk from above.
Trunk is supported at one end (Fig. J)
First saw through 1/3 of the trunk diameter
from bottom to top (with the top of the blade
bar) to avoid splintering. Then saw from top
to bottom (with the underside of the blade
bar) towards the first cut to avoid jamming.
Trunk is supported at both ends (Fig. K)
First saw through 1/3 of the trunk diamet-
er from top to bottom (with the underside of
the blade bar). Then saw from bottom to top
(with the top of the blade bar) until the cuts
meet.
Sawing on a sawhorse (Fig. L)
Hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands
and guide the machine in front of your body
while sawing. When the log is cut, guide
the machine past the body on the right (1).
Keep your left arm as straight as possible
(2). Watch out for the falling trunk. Position
yourself so that the severed trunk does not
pose a hazard. Pay attention to your feet.
The severed trunk could cause injuries if it
falls. Keep your balance (3).
