10.13.1 Sawing off small branches:
▪ Place the locating surface of the saw against the branch in order to prevent jerky
movements of the saw when you begin to cut it. Guide the saw with light pressure from the
top to the bottom through the branch. Watch out for premature breakage of the branch if
you have misjudged the size and weight.
10.13.2 Sawing off larger branches:
▪ In the case of larger branches, select a relief cut first of all to ensure that the sawing
process is controlled. To do this, saw an incision into the bottom third of the branch (with
the upper side of the blade). Then saw from top to bottom towards the first cut (with the
underside of the blade)
10.13.3 Sawing in sections:
Saw off large or long branches in sections so that you have control over the place where the
branch section lands.
▪ Saw the lower branches of the tree off first in order to make it easier for the branches that
have been cut off to fall to the ground.
▪ After the cut is completed, the weight of the saw increases abruptly for the operator, as the
saw is no longer supported on the branch. There is a danger that you will lose control of
the device.
▪ You should only pull the saw out of the cut with the saw chain running in order to avoid
jamming.
▪ Do not saw with the tip of the cutting equipment.
▪ Do not saw the bulge at the base of the branch because this will prevent the tree from
healing.
