Symbole
Log division without supports (Fig. F)
• Using topping (Pos. 1), saw 1/3 of the way into the tree.
• Turn the log around and make a second top cut (Pos. 2).
• When sawing on the compression side, make sure the saw does not get jammed. See
Figure for cuts in logs on the compression side.
Log division with log or support (Fig. G-H)
• Always remember to make the first cut (Pos. 1) on the loaded side of the log.
• Cut 1/3 into the log for this.
• Make a second cut (Pos. 2).
Trimming and pruning
m CAUTION
Always be careful and protect yourself from kickback. Never let the moving chain at the
tip of the chain guide come in contact with other branches or objects during trimming or
cutting branches. Such contact can lead to serious injuries.
m CAUTION
Never climb into the tree for trimming or pruning. Do not stand on ladders, platforms etc.
You could lose your balance and control of the device.
Important notices
• Work slowly and hold on to the saw with both hands. Ensure a secure standing posi-
tion and balance.
• Beware of recoiling parts of the tree. Practise extreme caution when cutting small
parts of the tree. Flexible material can get caught in the saw-chain and be ejected in
your direction or make you lose your balance.
• Beware of recoiling parts of the tree. This particularly applies to bent or loaded branch-
es. Avoid coming in contact with the branch or the saw when the tension on the wood
is released.
• Keep your working area clear. Clear the path of branches so you do not trip over them.
Trimming
• Do not start trimming the tree before it has been felled. Only then can you carry out
the trimming safely and properly.
• Leave larger branches underneath the felled tree and use them as a support while
you continue working.
• Start at the foot of the felled tree and work your way up to the top. Remove smaller
parts of the tree with one cut.
