Cutting
Basic Cutting (Fig.9a and 9b)
NOTICE: Practice cutting a few small logs using the following technique to get the “feel” of
using your saw before you begin a major sawing operation. Follow the steps below to prevent
damage to tree or shrub bark. Do not use a back-and-forth sawing motion.
1. Make a shallow rst cut (1/4 of the limb diameter) on the underside of the limb, close to
the main limb or trunk.
2. Make the second cut from the top side of the limb, outboard from the rst cut. Continue
the cut through the limb until the limb separates from the tree. Be prepared to balance the
weight of the tool when the limb falls.
3. Make the nal cut close to trunk.
