chain saw. Always switch off the motor of the
chain saw before moving from tree to tree.
Removing branches
By this we mean cutting the removing the
branches from the felled tree. When removing
larger branches pointing downwards, leave
the ones that support the tree in the initial
instance. Separate small branches with one
cut. Branches that are under tension should
be sawn from bottom to top to prevent the
chain saw from jamming.
• Always work on the side opposite the
branch in question.
• Begin at the bottom of the trunk and work
upwards.
• Always guide the saw from above down-
wards through the wood.
When removing the branches from trunks
which are lying down, first saw off the free
branches sticking up in the air. Only saw off
supporting branches when the trunk is sawed
in lengths.
DANGER! Risk of injury! Branches
that are high up or under tension can
wedge the saw chain in the wood!
