Cutting

underside of the branch to avoid the bark
ripping when cutting thick branches.

2. The saw a felling cut on the top of the
branch (2).
3. To avoid the bar jamming in the cut, place
the chain saw with the claw stop against
the branch and cut the branch from above
and down.
Cutting thick branches close to the trunk
1. For branches thicker than 10 cm, first make
an undercut and cut the branch about 20
cm from the final cut.
2. Then make another undercut close to the
trunk and cut the branch.
Cutting over obstacles
The long reach of the chain saw makes it
possible to cut branches that hang over
obstacles. A suitable angle depends on the
positioning of the branch. Make sure that the
cut branch does not cause any damage when
it falls.
