fore 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 power. There is
a danger of injury here. Switch
off the motor and use a lever or
wedge to free the electric chain-
saw.
Bucking
This refers to sawing up a felled tree trunk
into smaller sections.
Ensure that you are in a secure position
and that your body weight is distributed
evenly on both feet. If possible, under-
pin and support the stem with branches,
beams or wedges.
• Ensure that the saw chain does not
come in contact with the ground during
sawing.
• Make sure you have a secure stance
and, in the case of sloping ground,
stand above the log.
To maintain full control at the moment
of "sawing through", reduce the contact
pressure at the end of the cut, without
releasing the firm grip on the chain saw
handles. Once cutting is complete, wait
for the saw chain to come to a standstill
before removing the chain saw from
there. Always switch off the chain saw
before changing from tree to tree.
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. Log is supported at one end:
Start sawing from the bottom and
work your way up (with the upper
edge of the bar) a third of the way
into the diameter of the trunk to
prevent splitting. Then saw from
the top downwards with the lower
edge of the bar towards the first
cut to prevent the bar from be-
coming jammed in the wood.
3. Log is supported at both ends:
Start from the top and work down
(with the lower edge of the bar)
to a third of the diameter of the
trunk. Then saw from underneath
with the upper edge of the bar
until the two cuts meet.
4. Sawing on a sawhorse:
Hold the electric chainsaw
steady with both hands, keeping
the saw in front of you while saw-
ing. 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 prevent any
danger from the separated trunk.
Watch your feet. The trunk may
cause injuries 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.
