Sawing techniques
Be thoroughly aware of the danger of re-
bounding branches.
Sawing Off Small Branches
Set your saw cut of smaller branches
(Ø 0-8 cm) from top to bottom, as illus-
trated.
Be aware of early breaking of the branch
if you have underestimated the size and
weight.
Be completely aware of the falling cut
material.
Sawing Off Larger Branches
For controlled sawing of larger branches
(Ø 8-20 cm), first select a relief cut (see
cutting a).
This is made from below. Saw a notch in
the lower third of the branch.
The actual length cut (see cutting b) is
again made from the top, as far as possi-
23).
ble in line with the first cut so that the two
cuts meet.
Sawing Off Parts
For large/long branches, sawing off in parts
is recommended (see cutting a, b, c).
This is the only way to safely ensure the
point of impact of the cut material.
Clear away from the area in which you are
standing any parts that have already been
cut and are lying on the ground.
