Sawing Off Small Branches
Set your saw cut from top to bottom, as
illustrated.
Be aware of early breaking of the branch
if you have underestimated the size and
weight.
Be completely aware of the falling cut
material
Sawing Off Larger Branches
For controlled sawing of larger branches,
first select a relief cut (s. ill. a).
This is made from below.
Saw a notch in the lower third of the
branch.
The actual length cut (s. ill. b) is again
made from the top, as far as possible in
line with the first cut so that the two cuts
meet.
Sawing Off Parts
For large/long branches, sawing off in
parts is recommended.
This is the only way to safely ensure the
point of impact of the cut material.
Clear away from the area in which you
are standing any parts that have already
been cut and are lying on the ground.
Sawing techniques
Be thoroughly aware of the danger of rebounding branches.
