With this technology, sawing takes place with the top side
of the guide rail from bottom to top.
The saw chain pushes the product backwards, towards
the user.
10.3.3
Cutting to length
This is the sawing of felled tree trunks into small sections.
If possible, the trunk should be underpinned and support-
ed by branches, beams or wedges.
• Always make sure you have a firm footing and on-
ly use the chainsaw when standing on firm, safe
and level ground. Slippery ground or unstable stand-
ing surfaces can cause loss of balance or loss of con-
trol of the chainsaw.
• Always stand above the branch when sawing on
slopes. Ensure that the saw chain does not come into
contact with the ground. After completing the cut, wait
for the saw chain to stop before removing the product.
• Always switch off the product's engine before switch-
ing from workplace to workplace.
10.3.3.1
Trunk lying on the floor (Fig. 6)
• The saw chain must not touch the ground or any other
object during or after sawing.
• Saw all the way through the trunk from the top.
• If there is the possibility of the trunk turning, saw
through 2/3 of it.
Then turn the truck over and saw through the rest of
the trunk from above.
10.3.3.2
Trunk is supported at one end (Fig. 7)
• First saw through 1/3 of the trunk diameter from bot-
tom to top (with the top side of the guide bar) to avoid
fragments.
• Then saw from top to bottom (with the underside of
the guide bar) towards the first cut to avoid jamming.
10.3.3.3
Trunk is supported at both ends (Fig. 8)
• First saw through 1/3 of the trunk diameter from top to
bottom (with the underside of the guide bar).
• Then saw from the bottom up (with the top of the
guide bar) until the cuts meet.
10.3.3.4
Sawing on a trestle (Fig. 9)
1. Hold the product firmly with both hands and guide the
product in front of your body while sawing.
2. When cutting the trunk, guide the product past the
body on the right.
Keep your left arm as straight as possible. Watch out
for the falling trunk.
3. Position yourself so that the severed trunk does not
pose a hazard.
4. Pay attention to your feet. The cut trunk could cause
injuries if it falls.
5. Make sure your body is balanced and that you have a
secure stance.

WARNING
Danger of injury!
Many accidents happen during delimbing.
1. Hold the product firmly with both hands and guide
the product in front of your body while sawing.
2. Do not lean too far forward during operation.
3. Never saw off branches when standing on the tree
trunk.
4. Keep an eye on the kick-back area if branches are
tensioned.
Delimbing is the term for removing branches and twigs
from a tree.
• Remove supporting branches only after cutting to
length.
• Tensioned branches must be sawn from the bottom
upwards to prevent the product from jamming.
• When sawing off thicker branches, use the same tech-
nique as for cutting to length.
• Work to the left of the trunk and as close as possible
to the product. If possible, let the weight of the product
rest on the trunk.
• Change your position to cut branches on the other
side of the trunk.
• Branched boughs are cut to length individually.
• When delimbing, leave larger downward branches
that support the tree for the time being. Separate
smaller branches with one cut.
10.3.5
DANGER
Danger of injury!
Sawing and felling work as well as all related work may
only be carried out by specially trained and briefed per-
sons.
DANGER
A lot of experience is needed to fell trees. Only fell trees
if you can handle the product safely. Never use the
product if you feel unsafe.
DANGER
Life-threatening injuries!
–
Never saw fully through the trunk!
–
During felling, only stand to the side of the tree you
intend to fell!
DANGER
Do not fell a tree if a strong or changing wind is blowing,
if there is a risk of property damage or if the tree could
hit electrical lines.
• Ensure that no other people or animals are present in
the work area. The safety distance between the tree
to be felled and the nearest workplace must be 2.5
tree lengths.
