Many accidents occur during the
removal of branches. Never cut tree
limbs when you are standing on the
log. Keep the spring-back area in
mind if branches are under tension.

Do not remove support branches until

after the sawing off.
•
Branches under tension must be

sawed from below to above, in order to
prevent jamming of the chainsaw.
When working on thicker branches, use
the same technique as when you are
sawing up a felled trunk.
•
Work to the left of the log and as near
as possible to the electric chainsaw.
As far as possible, the weight of the

saw should rest on the log.

Felling trees
J
A lot of experience is neces-
T
sary in felling trees. Cut down
trees only when you can safely
handle the electric chainsaw. In
no case should you use the elec-
tric chainsaw if you feel unsure
about anything.
•
Ensure that no people or animals
are in the field of action. The safety
distance between the tree to be felled
and the nearest-located workplace
must be 2 ½ tree lengths.
•
