When working with a motorbike, cutting the branches is usually the operation that requires the most time and effort. In other words, you would have much to gain if you got the right technique.
If you are a beginner in the field of cutting the branches, work slowly and methodically, increasing the pace of gradual work. And do not forget: if it starts to hurt your back, this may be an indication that you need to improve your technique. Here are some simple, basic rules for cutting branches efficiently.
Optimum height
The best position for cutting the branches is with the lying shaft, the cutting point being between the waist and the knee. You can get the optimal cutting position by trying to knock down the tree so it falls over other trees, over the stones or ridges of the ground. Note: Bend your knees, not your back.
Safe and stable
Stay on the left side of the trunk with your legs at an angle of 45 degrees to the trunk. Work with your motorbike close to your body and keep your stability in two directions. Make sure you reach the desired distance so you do not need to use risky foot movements while cutting.
Do not force
To avoid accidents, it is essential that you do not lift the chain saw more than necessary. Move your bike as little as possible and use it as a lever, with your body resting on the tree trunk or your foot. You can cut branches more easily and efficiently with a shorter guide rail (13 "-15"). Follow us on: Twitter
Controlled movement
Always hold the guide rail on the opposite side of the trunk when moving your legs. The chain must be static when moving. Hold the motorbike with both hands when moving over short distances - never hold it only by the rear handle. In the case of longer journeys, activate the chains brake and transport the chain saw to the front handle.
Caution when blocking and kickback
Avoid cutting with the tip of the guide rail. The fingers must completely surround the handles during work. Use a guide rail adapted to the size of the shaft.
Avoiding "pinching"
Determine the way the branches are tensed and cut on the opposite side of the branch, where the guide rail will not be crushed by the weight of the branch. If you are not sure, cut the twigs in stages, from the outside to the trunk.
Unlock the brake before starting cutting
Leave the motorbike on the trunk while removing the branches with your right hand. Unlock the throttle and apply the chain brake. If the motorcycle is equipped along with the Brake feature, it is smooth easier to turn on the chain brake beforehand removing the twigs.
