Push sawing
With this technique the sawing is done with the top of the saw bar from bottom to top. The saw-
chain pulls the machine backwards towards the user (see following figure).
WARNING!
If the saw-bar tilts, the device can be hurled towards the user with great force. If the user does not
compensate for the force of the saw-chain pushing backwards with his own physical strength, there
is a risk that only the tip of the saw-bar will make contact with the wood, resulting in kickback. Risk of
death or serious injury!
Cutting down a tree
Danger of injury!
Felling and delimbing work may only be carried out by trained persons! There is a risk of life-
threatening injuries!
Before starting felling work, ensure that no uninvolved persons or animals are present in the fall area
(A) of the tree.
An unobstructed escape route is necessary for everyone involved. A retraction (B) is made diagonally
opposite to the direction of fall. The area around the log must be kept free of obstacles (danger of
tripping!). The next workstation must be at least 2½ tree lengths away. Before felling, the direction of
fall of the tree must be checked and it must be ensured that there are no objects, other persons or
animals within a distance of 2½ tree lengths (see following figure).
The felling of a tree takes place in two steps:
- notch the log by about one third of its diameter on the fall direction side (1.).
- make the felling cut (2.) on the opposite side, which must be slightly higher than the
