stand above the trunk on sloping ter-
rain. To keep total control while sawing
through, reduce the pressure at the end
of the cut without loosening your grip
on the handles of the garden pruner.
After finishing the cut, wait until the
saw chain comes to a stop before re-
moving it. Always switch off the motor
of the garden pruner before changing
between trees.
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. Sawing on a sawhorse:
Hold the electric chainsaw steady with
both hands, keeping 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 pre-
vent any danger from the separated trunk.
Watch your feet. The trunk may cause inju-
ries when falling. Keep your balance (3).
Limbing
Limbing is the designation for the sawing off
of branches and boughs from a felled tree.
Many accidents occur during the
removal of branches. Never cut
tree limbs when you are standing on the
log. Keep the spring-back area in mind if
branches are under tension.
• Do not remove support branches until
after the sawing off.
• Branches under tension must be sawed
from below to above, in order to pre-
vent jamming of the chainsaw.
When working on thicker branches,
use the same technique as when you
are sawing up a felled trunk.
• Work to the left of the log and as near
as possible to the electric chainsaw. As
far as possible, the weight of the saw
should rest on the log.
• Change position to saw off branches
on the other side of the trunk.
• Branches sticking out are cut off sepa-
rately.
Maintenance and
cleaning
