Freeing a trapped saw
It the saw becomes trapped during cutting, operators
should
- switch off the saw and attach it securely to the tree
inboard (i.e. towards the trunk side) of the cut or to a
separate tool line,
- pull the saw from the kerf whilst lifting the branch as
necessary,
- if necessary, use a handsaw or second chain saw to
release the trapped saw by cutting a minimum of 30
cm away from the trapped saw.
Whether a handsaw or a chain-saw is used to free a
trapped saw, the release cuts should always be outboard
(toward the tips of the branch), in order to prevent the
saw being taken with the section and further complicat-
ing the situation. Freeing a trapped saw.
