Sawing techniques

General

Observe the noise protection and
local regulations when cutting
wood. Local requirements may
require a suitability test. Ask the
forestry commission.
•­ Dirt,­stones,­loose­bark,­nails,­staples­
and wire must be removed from the tree.
•­ For­sawing­work­on­a­slope,­always­
stand above the tree trunk.
•­ To­keep­control­at­the­moment­of­
"sawing­through",­reduce­the­contact­
pressure at the end of the cut without
loosening­the­firm­grip­on­the­chainsaw­
handles.­Ensure­that­the­saw­chain­does­
not come into contact with the ground.
•­ After­completing­the­cut,­wait­for­the­
chainsaw to come to a standstill before
removing the chainsaw.
•­ Always­switch­off­the­chainsaw­motor­
before moving from one tree to another.
•­ Lay­the­connecting­lead­such­that­it­will­
not be caught on branches or similar
during sawing.
•­ For­each­cut,­apply­the­claw­stop­se-
curely and only then start sawing.
•­ You­have­better­control­when­you­saw­
with the bottom side of the chain bar
(with­pulling­saw­chain)­and­not­to­with­
the top side of the chain bar (with push-
ing­saw­chain).
•­ The­saw­chain­must­not­contact­either­the­
ground or another object during sawing
through or after sawing completion.
•­ Make­sure­that­the­saw­chain­does­not­
become jammed in the wood. Do not
let the tree trunk break or split off.
•­ Consider­also­the­precautions­against­
spring-back­(see­notes­on­safety)..
•­ For­sawing­work­on­a­slope,­always­
stand above the tree trunk. To keep
control at the moment of "sawing
through",­reduce­the­contact­pressure­
at the end of the cut without loosening
the­firm­grip­on­the­chainsaw­handles.­
Ensure­that­the­saw­chain­does­not­
come into contact with the ground.
After­completing­the­cut,­wait­for­the­
chainsaw to come to a standstill before
removing the chainsaw. Always switch
off the chainsaw motor before moving
from one tree to another.
If the saw chain jams, you
do not attempt to pull out the
electric chainsaw using pow-
er. There is a danger of injury
here. Switch off the motor
and use a lever or wedge to
free the electric chainsaw.
