two stages; from the top and from the bottom.You need to
support the object so that it will not trap the chain or split
during cutting.
WARNING! If the chain jams in the cut:
stop the engine! Don’t try to pull the
chain saw free. If you do you may be
injured by the chain when the chain saw
suddenly breaks free. Use a lever to open
up the cut and free the chain saw.
!
The log is supported at both ends. There is a high risk
that the chain will jam.
The following instructions describe how to handle the
common situations you are likely to encounter when using
a chain saw.
- Start by cutting from above (about 1/3 of the way
through).
Cutting
The log is lying on the ground.There is little risk of the
chain jamming or the object splitting. However there is a
risk that the chain will touch the ground when you finish
the cut.
-
Finish by cutting from below so that the two cuts meet.
Cut all the way through the log from above. Avoid letting
the chain touch the ground as you finish the cut. Maintain
full throttle but be prepared for what might happen.
Limbing
When limbing thick branches you should use the same
approach as for cutting.
Cut difficult branches piece by piece.
-
If it is possible (can you turn the log?) stop cutting about
2/3
of the way through the log.
-
Turn the log and finish the cut from the opposite side.
Felling technique for tree tops
The log is supported at one end. There is a high risk
that it will split.
WARNING! It takes a lot of experience to
fell a tree. Inexperienced users of chain
saws should not fell trees. Do not
attempt any task beyond your experience
level!
!
Safe distance
Start by cutting from below (about 1/3 of the way through).
During tree maintenance work above ground level, the
working area must always be secured and marked out
with signs, tape or the like.The safe distance between the
top of the tree that is to be felled and the nearest
workplace must be at least 2 1/2 times the height of the
tree.Make sure that no-one else is in this risk zone before
or during felling.
