•­ For­sawing­work­on­a­slope,­always­
stand above the tree trunk. To keep
control at the moment of "sawing
through",­reduce­the­contact­pressure­
at the end of the cut without loosening
the­firm­grip­on­the­chainsaw­handles.­
Ensure­that­the­saw­chain­does­not­
come into contact with the ground.
After­completing­the­cut,­wait­for­the­
chainsaw to come to a standstill before
removing the chainsaw. Always switch
off the chainsaw motor before moving
from one tree to another.
If the saw chain jams, you
do not attempt to pull out the
electric chainsaw using pow-
er. There is a danger of injury
here. Switch off the motor
and use a lever or wedge to
free the electric chainsaw.

Bucking

This refers to sawing up a felled tree trunk
into smaller sections.
Ensure­that­you­are­in­a­secure­position­
and that your body weight is distributed
evenly­on­both­feet.­If­possible,­under-
pin­and­support­the­stem­with­branches,­
beams or wedges.
•­ Ensure­that­the­saw­chain­does­not­
come in contact with the ground during
sawing.
• Make sure you have a secure stance
and,­in­the­case­of­sloping­ground,­
stand above the log.
To maintain full control at the moment
of­"sawing­through",­reduce­the­contact­
pressure­at­the­end­of­the­cut,­without­
releasing­the­firm­grip­on­the­chain­saw­
handles.­Once­cutting­is­complete,­wait­
for the saw chain to come to a standstill
before removing the chain saw from
54
there. Always switch off the chain saw
before changing from tree to tree.
1. Log is lying on the ground:
Saw through the log completely from
above and ensure at the end of the cut not
to contact the ground.
If­you­can­turn­the­tree­trunk,­saw­two-
thirds of the way through it. Then turn the
trunk around and saw the rest of the way
through from above.
2. Log is supported at one end:
Start sawing from the bottom and work your
way­up­(with­the­upper­edge­of­the­bar)­
a third of the way into the diameter of the
trunk to prevent splitting. Then saw from the
top downwards with the lower edge of the
bar­towards­the­first­cut­to­prevent­the­bar­
from becoming jammed in the wood.
3. Log is supported at both
ends:
Start from the top and work down (with
the­lower­edge­of­the­bar)­to­a­third­of­
the diameter of the trunk. Then saw from
underneath with the upper edge of the bar
until the two cuts meet.
4. Sawing on a sawhorse:
Hold the electric chainsaw steady with
both­hands,­keeping­the­saw­in­front­
of you while sawing. Once the saw is
through­the­wood,­guide­the­machine­
passed­you­on­the­right­(1).­Hold­your­left­
arm­as­straight­as­you­can­(2).­Watch­out­
for the falling trunk. Position yourself to pre-
vent any danger from the separated trunk.
Watch your feet. The trunk may cause inju-
ries­when­falling.­Keep­your­balance­(3).
