Safety information
• Make sure that the tree is always between you and the saw.
• Remove larger, supporting branches using the method from Section „Log division
without support“.
• Always remove small freely suspended parts of the tree with a top cut. They may fall
into the saw or trap it if you use an undercut.
Pruning (Fig. K)
m CAUTION
Prune branches only at or below shoulder height. Never cut branches above shoulder
height. Leave that kind of work to a professional.
• For the first cut (Pos. 1), cut 1/3 of the way into the lower part of the branch.
• Then cut all the way through the branch with the second cut (Pos. 2). The third cut
(Pos. 3) is a top cut with which you separate the branch from the trunk at a distance
of 2.5 to 5cm.
