Cutting
During the cutting phase, fallen trunks are cut to another length. Make sure that you are standing
steadily with good balance. If the ground is sloped you should stand in the uphill position of the
tree trunk when cutting. The tree trunk should preferably be chocked up on something so that
it is not lying directly on the ground which helps to prevent the saw chain from cutting into the
ground and becoming dull. If the tree trunk has support on both ends you must begin by cut-
ting it in the middle. Start by cutting through half of the log from above. Then make a cut which
meets from underneath. Otherwise the saw can be clamped down upon. Be careful not to let the
saw chain come in contact with the ground.
1. A tree trunk with support underneath the entire length: Cut from above the trunk first, then
roll the trunk over and make cuts which meet from above.
2. A trunk with support from one end (e.g. the tree trunk lies against a saw horse): Cut from under-
neath first (1/3 of the diameter, to advoid splitting). Then make a cut which meets from above.
3. A tree trunk with support at both ends: Cut from above first (1/3 of the diameter, to avoid
splitting). Then make a cut which meets from underneath (Fig 24).

Note! The best way to cut is to use some type of support, preferably a saw horse. If that isn’t
possible the tree trunk can lean against something else, however make sure that the tree trunk
leans securely so that it doesn’t roll or fall down.
Cutting with help of a saw horse
A. Hold the chain saw steadily with both hands
on your right side while cutting.
B. Keep the left arm as straight as possible.
C. Stand steadily with weight divided
between both feet.
Release the activated chain brake by pulling
the front hand guard backwards towards the
arched handle until it stops with a click.
