Trunks lying flat on the ground
– Cut into the trunk halfway, then turn over
and saw through from the opposite side.
Propped-up trunks
We recommend that you place trunks to be
sawed through on sawhorses. If this is not
possible, the trunk should be lifted with the
help of supporting branches and placed over
trestles.
In area A, first cut through approximately one
third of the trunk diameter from above down-
wards, then make the final cut from below
upwards. In area B, first cut through approxi-
mately one third of the trunk diameter from
below upwards, then saw through from
above.
Removing branches
• Always work on the side opposite the
branch in question.
• Begin at the bottom of the trunk and work
upwards.
• Always guide the saw from above down-
wards through the wood.
When removing the branches from trunks
which are lying down, first saw off the free
branches sticking up in the air. Only saw off
supporting branches when the trunk is sawed
in lengths.

Special tools are required to sharpen the saw
chain; these guarantee that the cutting of the
chain occurs at the correct angle and the cor-
rect depth. We recommend that you have the
saw chain sharpened by a professional.
