Propped-up trunks
We recommend that you place trunks to be sawed through on sawhorses. If this is not possible, the
trunk should be lifted with the help of supporting branches and placed over trestles.
In area A, first cut through approximately one third of the trunk diameter from above down- wards,
then make the final cut from below upwards. In area B, first cut through approx- imately one third of
the trunk diameter from below upwards, then saw through from above.
Removing branches
• 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.

Do not saw any trunks under tension! Splintering wood or a twisted saw rail can cause extre-
mely severe injuries!
DANGER!
Risk of injury!
Branches that are high up or under tension can wedge the saw chain in the wood!
