Servicing
Supported trunks Q
We recommend supporting trunks, which are to be
sawn through, on sawhorses. If this is not possible,
the trunk should be raised and supported with the
aid of the supporting branches or via support blocks.
In area [A] first cut approx. one third of the trunk
diameter from top to bottom, then complete the cut
from bottom to top.
In area [B] first cut approx. one third of the trunk
diameter from bottom to top, then cut through from
the top.
Risk of injuries.
ÂSplintering wood or a jammed cutting bar
may result in extremely serious injuries!
¾ Do not saw trunks which are under
tension!
Removing branches
Always work on the side opposite the branch in
Î
question.
Start at the bottom of the trunk and work upwards.
Î
Always guide the saw from top to bottom through
Î
the wood.
When limbing trunks lying flat on the ground, first
Î
always saw off the branches pointing upwards.
Do not cut through supporting branches until the
trunk has been sawn into lengths.
Risk of injuries.
¾ Branches which are supported or under
tension may wedge the saw chain in the
wood!
