SAWING TECHNIQUE
PULLING THE SAW
With this technique, the sawing is done with the lower part of the sword from the top down. The saw pushes the
device forward, away from the user. In this way, the front edge of the device forms a support, which captures the
forces that arise in the tree trunk when sawing. The user has much more control over the device and can better avoid
kickback. This is therefore the preferred sawing technique.
1. Saw as close as possible to the engine block and allow the stop to grip the
wood.
2. If the stop is gripped too tightly, pull the saw handle upwards. The leverage
will push the bar down, making the sawing work easier.
PUSHING THE SAW
With this technique, the sawing is done with the upper edge of the guide bar from the bottom to the top. The saw
pushes the device back towards the user.
ATTENTION: If the user does not balance the strength of the saw
when pushing back with his body strength, there is a danger that
only the tip of the guide bar will come into contact with the wood,
thus creating a kickback.
FELLING A TREE
Before starting logging work, make sur
• Before starting logging work, make sure There are no people or animals in the felling area of the tree.
• There is an unobstructed escape route for each participant. Withdrawal takes place diagonally against the
direction of felling.
• The area around the trunk is free of obstacles (risk of tripping).
• The next workplace is at least two and a half metres away from the tree. Before felling, the direction in which
the tree is felled must be checked.
1. Mark the trunk approximately one third of its diameter on the side of the direction
of felling.
2. On the other side, make the felling cut, which should be slightly higher than the
felling notch (about 2 inches).
