Sawing techniques
Be thoroughly aware of the danger of rebounding branches.
Sawing Off Small Branches (See Fig. Q2)
Set your saw cut from top to bottom, as illustrated.
Be aware of early breaking of the branch if you have underestimated the size and weight.
Be completely aware of the falling cut material.
Sawing Off Larger Branches (See Fig. Q3)
For controlled sawing of larger branches, rst select a relief cut. This is made from below.
Saw a notch in the lower third of the branch.
The actual length cut is again made from the top, as far as possible in line with the rst cut
so that the two cuts meet.
Sawing Off Parts (See Fig. Q4)
For large/long branches, sawing off in parts is recommended.
This is the only way to safely ensure the point of impact of the cut material.
Clear away from the area in which you are standing any parts that have already been cut
and are lying on the ground.
