6 WORKING BEHAVIOUR AND
WORKING TECHNIQUE
6.1

Cutting converted timber (08)

Observe the following points during this work:
■
Use a secure cutting support, e.g. saw trestle
(08/1), wedges, beams.
■
Secure logs to prevent them twisting.
■
Do not secure the wood with your foot and do
not get another person to hold it.
■
Make sure you are standing securely and
that your body weight is evenly distributed.
■
Hold the pruning saw firmly by the front and
rear handles – i.e. in the insulated hand area
– with both hands (08/2).
■
Press stop (08/3) of the pruning saw firmly
against the wood.
■
Only start the cut once the saw chain is run-
ning. Never switch on the pruning saw when
the saw chain is already in contact with the
wood.
