Many accidents occur during the
removal of branches. Never cut tree
limbs when you are standing on the
log. Keep the spring-back area in
mind if branches are under tension.
• Do not remove support branches until
after the sawing off.
• Branches under tension must be sawed
from below to above, in order to pre-
vent jamming of the chainsaw.
• When working on thicker branches,
use the same technique as when you
are sawing up a felled trunk. Work to
the left of the log and as near as pos-
sible to the electric chainsaw. As far as
possible, the weight of the saw should
rest on the log.
• Change position to saw off branches
on the other side of the trunk.
• Branches sticking out are cut off sepa-
rately.
• Cut off smaller branches, as shown in
Figure , in one go.

This refers to sawing up a felled tree trunk
into smaller sections.
• Ensure that the saw chain does not
come in contact with the ground during
sawing.
• Make sure you have a secure stance
and, in the case of sloping ground,
stand above the log.
• Ensure that you have secure footing
and balance your body weight evenly
on both feet. If possible, the trunk
should be protected and supported by
branches, logs or wedges. Follow the
simple instructions for easy sowing.

1. Log is lying on the ground:
Saw through the log completely
from above and ensure at the
end of the cut not to contact the
ground.
If you can turn the tree trunk, saw
two-thirds of the way through it.
Then turn the trunk around and
saw the rest of the way through
from above.
2. Log is supported at one
end:
Start sawing from the bottom and
work your way up (with the up-
per edge of the bar) a third of the
way into the diameter of the trunk
to prevent splitting. Then saw
from the top downwards with the
lower edge of the bar towards
the first cut to prevent the bar
from becoming jammed in the
wood.
3. Log is supported at both
ends:
Start from the top and work down
(with the lower edge of the bar)
to a third of the diameter of the
trunk. Then saw from underneath
with the upper edge of the bar
until the two cuts meet.
4. Sawing on a sawhorse:
Hold the electric chainsaw steady
with both hands, keeping the
saw in front of you while saw-
ing. Once the saw is through
the wood, guide the machine
passed you on the right (1). Hold
your left arm as straight as you
can (2). Watch out for the falling
trunk. Position yourself to prevent
any danger from the separated
trunk. Watch your feet. The trunk
may cause injuries when falling.
Keep your balance (3).
