Cleaning and maintenance
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 downwards,
then make the final cut from below upwards. In
area B, first cut through approximately 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 downwards through the wood.
When removing the branches from trunks which are lying down, first saw off the free branches stick-
ing up in the air. Only saw off supporting branches when the trunk is sawed in lengths.
