Page 13: Sawing Techniques
Sawing techniques Be thoroughly aware of the danger of rebounding branches. Sawing Off Small Branches Set your saw cut from top to bottom, as illustrated below. Be aware of early breaking of the branch if you have underestimated the size and weight. Be completely aware of the falling cut material Sawing Off Larger Branches For controlled sawing of larger branches, first select a relief cut. This – labelled a in the adjacent illustra- tion – is made from below. Saw a notch in the lower third of the branch. The actual length cut (b) is again made from the top, as far as possible in line with the first cut so that the two cuts meet. Sawing Off Parts For large/long branches, sawing off in parts is recommended. This is the only way to safely ensure the point of impact of the cut material. Clear away from the area in which you are standing any parts that have already been cut and are lying on the ground. -
