a) Secure the strop around the attachment point
on the rear of the saw;
b) Provide suitable carabiners to allow indirect (i.e.
via the strop) and direct attachment (i.e. at the
attachment point on the saw) of the saw to the
operator’s harness;
c) Ensure the saw is securely attached when it is
being sent up to the operator;
d) Ensure the saw is secured to the harness
before it is disconnected from the means of
ascent.

The ability to directly attach the saw to the harness reduces the risk of damage to
equipment when moving around the tree. Always switch the saw off when it is directly
attached to the harness.
The saw should only be attached to the
recommended attachment points on the harness.
These may be at mid-point (front or rear) or at the
sides. Where possible, attach the saw to the
centre rear mid-point to keep it clear of climbing
lines and to support its weight centrally down the
operator’s spine. See Figure B.2.
When moving the saw from any one attachment
point to another, operators should ensure it is
secured in the new position before releasing it
from the previous attachment point.
