Removing branches
Here we are talking about removing branches from the felled tree. When
removing branches, leave any downward facing branches which are supporting
the tree until the trunk of the tree has been cut up.
Smaller branches should be removed as shown in Fig. 19 (A= cutting direction
when removing
branches, B= keep away from the ground! Supporting branches should be left
until the trunk is cut up) in a single cut from the bottom to the top. Any branches
which are under tension should be cut from the bottom to the top to prevent
the saw from becoming trapped.

Cutting the tree trunk into lengths
Here we are looking at the process of cutting the felled tree into sections. Make
sure you have a sure footing and distribute your body weight evenly onto both
feet. If possible the trunk should be under laid and supported with branches,
beams or wedges. For easy cutting follow the simple instructions below. If the
full length of the tree trunk is evenly supported as shown in Fig. 20 then proceed
by cutting from the top down. Take care not to cut into the ground in the
process.
If the weight of the tree trunk is resting on one end as shown in Fig. 21, first cut
through 1/3 of the trunk diameter from the underside (A) in order to prevent it
from splintering. Make the second cut from the top (2/3 of the diameter) to the
