•
Always work on the side opposite the branch
in question.
•
Start at the bottom of the trunk and work
upwards.
•
10–15 cm from the base of the branch saw
upwards into the branch 1/3 of the branch
diameter (1.).
•
A little further up the branch saw through
the branch from top to bottom (2.).
•
Make a cut close to the trunk (3.). Make the
cut from top to bottom.
•
When limbing trunks lying flat on the
ground, first always saw off the branches
pointing upwards. Do not cut through sup-
porting branches until the trunk has been
sawn into lengths.
Warning! Branches which are sup-
ported or under tension may wedge
the saw chain in the wood!
When sawing on inclines always stand above
the trunk. Reduce the pressure without loos-
ening your firm grip on the chain saw handles
towards the end of the cut to maintain full con-
trol at the moment the saw fully cuts through
the trunk. Make sure the saw chain does not
come into contact with the ground. After hav-
ing completed the cut wait for the saw chain
to come to a stop before removing it. Always
switch off the chain saw drive when moving
from one tree to the next.
