off the chainsaw motor before moving
from one tree to another.
If the saw chain jams, you
do not attempt to pull out the
electric chainsaw using pow-
er. There is a danger of injury
here. Switch off the motor
and use a lever or wedge to
free the electric chainsaw.

Bucking

This refers to sawing up a felled tree trunk
into smaller sections.
Ensure that you are in a secure position
and that your body weight is distributed
evenly on both feet. If possible, under-
pin and support the stem with branches,
beams or wedges.
• Ensure that the saw chain does not
come in contact with the ground during
sawing.
• Make sure you have a secure stance
and, in the case of sloping ground,
stand above the log.
To maintain full control at the moment
of "sawing through", reduce the contact
pressure at the end of the cut, without
releasing the firm grip on the chain
saw handles. Once cutting is complete,
wait for the saw chain to come to a
standstill before removing the chain
saw from there. Always switch off the
chain saw before changing from tree
to tree.
1. Log is lying on the ground:
Saw through the log completely
from above and ensure at the
end of the cut not to contact the
ground.
If you can turn the tree trunk,
saw two-thirds of the way
through it. Then turn the trunk
around and saw the rest of the
way through from above.
2. Log is supported at one end:
Start sawing from the bottom
and work your way up (with the
upper edge of the bar) a third of
the way into the diameter of the
trunk to prevent splitting. Then
saw from the top downwards
with the lower edge of the bar
towards the first cut to prevent
the bar from becoming jammed
in the wood.
3. Log is supported at both
ends:
Start from the top and work
down (with the lower edge of
the bar) to a third of the diam-
eter of the trunk. Then saw from
underneath with the upper edge
of the bar until the two cuts
meet.
4. Sawing on a sawhorse:
Hold the electric chainsaw
steady with both hands, keep-
ing the saw in front of you while
sawing. Once the saw is through
the wood, guide the machine
passed you on the right (1). Hold
your left arm as straight as you
can (2). Watch out for the falling
trunk. Position yourself to prevent
any danger from the separated
trunk. Watch your feet. The trunk
may cause injuries when falling.
Keep your balance (3).
