Trunks lying flat on the grounds
• Cut around halfway through the trunk, then turn it over
and saw through the other side.
Damage to the device!
Ensure that the guide bar does not come into contact with
the
ground when sawing through a tree trunk!
Fallen trunks
We recommend supporting trunks on a sawhorse when
sawing through them. If this is not possible, the trunk
should be lifted with the aid of supporting boughs or with
support blocks and supported. In area A first cut around
one third of the trunk diameter from top to bottom, and
then make the subsequent cut from bottom to top; In area
B first cut around one third of the trunk diameter from
bottom to top , and then saw through from the top.
Risk of injury!
Do not saw trunks that are strained! Splitting wood or a
tilted guide bar can result in serious injuries!
Removing branches
• Always work on the side opposite the respective branch.
• Start at the bottom of the branch and work up.
• Saw into the branch 10–15 cm from the branch base from
bottom to top, to 1/3 of the branch diameter (1).
• Saw through the branch slightly further out from top to
bottom (2).
• Perform a cut tightly against the trunk (3). Make the cut
from top to bottom. During delimbing always saw off the
branches that project freely in the air first. Only lop off
support.limbs once the branches have been sawn along
their length.

Felling a tree
Felling and branch removal work may only be performed
by trained personnel! There is a risk of life threatening
injuries!
Before starting felling work, make sure that:
• no bystanders or animals are in the felling area (A).
• a clear evacuation route, free of obstacles, is available to all
participants. Withdrawal (B) takes place at an oblique angle
to the felling direction.
• the area around the trunk is clear of obstacles (risk of
tripping!).
• the nearest workplace is at least 21⁄2 trunk lengths away.
Before felling, check the felling direction of the tree and
make sure that no obstacles, persons or animals are within
a distance of 21⁄2 tree lengths.
Tree felling takes place in two steps:
• Saw a felling sink in the trunk of around one third of its
diameter, on the side of the felling direction (1).
• On the opposite side (2) make the felling cut, which must
be slightly higher than the felling sink (approx. 3–5 cm).
Risk of injury!
Never saw fully through the trunk. The area (C) serves as a
“hinge” and ensures the correct felling direction.
During felling, only stand to the side of the tree you intend
to fell! There is a risk of life-threatening injuries!
