A method for operating a saw assembly as well as a saw assembly, having a chainsaw (1) with a circulating saw chain (2) and a chain drive sprocket (3) for driving the saw chain (2). The chainsaw (1) is secured to a moving device (8) via a chainsaw swivel device (19). The moving device (8) has a first operating mode, in which the chainsaw (1) is moved or movable from a first position through a saw area (9) and through the cutting material (18) into a second position, and the moving device (8) has a second operating mode, in which the chainsaw (1) is moved or movable from the second position back through the saw area (9) and through the cutting material (18) into the first position.

A saw bench having a first pair of legs and a second pair of legs. Between the first pair of legs and the second pair of legs are two cross members for material to be cut. A sawing kerf is formed between cross members. A first guide rail and/or a second guide rail for a sawing member is mounted on the saw bench in such a way that, during sawing of the material to be cut, the sawing member engages through the sawing kerf below a level of the material to be cut, which is held by the two cross members.

A chain saw includes a connection rod and a front end assembly disposed at a front end of the connection rod. The front end assembly includes a motor, an output device, a transmission mechanism, and a front end casing. A ratio of rated output power P of the motor to a maximum weight of the chain saw is greater than or equal to 150 W/kg and less than or equal to 265 W/kg. The motor includes a rotor shaft, a rotor sleeve installed to the rotor shaft configured to rotate synchronously with the rotor shaft, a stator core disposed at least partially in the rotor sleeve, and a stator coil wound around the stator core.

The present disclosure relates to a tree harvesting machine (120) having a crane arm (118), wherein the crane arm (118) comprises a tree harvesting head (100; 200) arranged at a free end of the crane arm (118). The tree harvesting head (100) comprises a saw (104) and at least two feed wheels (102). The tree harvesting head (100) further comprises an electric motor (106a) arranged to drive the saw (104), and at least one electric motor (106b) arranged to drive the feed wheels (102). The present disclosure also relates to associated tree harvesting monitoring systems, tree harvesting heads, methods and computer programs.

An attachment for handling and variable length processing of a material having a longitudinal axis includes a material engagement assembly and a processing assembly. The material engagement assembly is configured to engage the material about the longitudinal axis and includes a planar engagement surface and a curved engagement surface configured to move relative to the planar engagement surface and engage the material therebetween. The processing assembly is variably positionable along a portion of the longitudinal axis of the material when the material is engaged by the material engagement assembly. The attachment can include a roller system configured to drive the material along the linear travel path without length restrictions.

A method for operating a saw assembly as well as a saw assembly, having a chainsaw (1) with a circulating saw chain (2) and a chain drive sprocket (3) for driving the saw chain (2). The chainsaw (1) is secured to a moving device (8) via a chainsaw swivel device (19). The moving device (8) has a first operating mode, in which the chainsaw (1) is moved or movable from a first position through a saw area (9) and through the cutting material (18) into a second position, and the moving device (8) has a second operating mode, in which the chainsaw (1) is moved or movable from the second position back through the saw area (9) and through the cutting material (18) into the first position.

The present disclosure relates to a tree harvesting machine (120) having a crane arm (118), wherein the crane arm (118) comprises a tree harvesting head (100; 200) arranged at a free end of the crane arm (118). The tree harvesting head (100) comprises a saw (104) and at least two feed wheels (102). The tree harvesting head (100) further comprises an electric motor (106a) arranged to drive the saw (104), and at least one electric motor (106b) arranged to drive the feed wheels (102). The present disclosure also relates to associated tree harvesting monitoring systems, tree harvesting heads, methods and computer programs.

A power tool system comprises (i) at least one power tool, in particular a circular saw, having at least one tool support unit for supporting a tool during machining and at least one displaceably mounted tool guiding unit, and (ii) at least one power tool separation device which is arranged on the tool guiding unit. The power tool separation device comprises at least one cutting unit and at least one guide unit for guiding the cutting unit.

A pulley system for transferring motor torque to a cutting blade assembly is provided. The system is installed on a log cutting machine. A motor of the log cutting machine is positioned on a support table, which is intended to raise and lower during operation. The cutting blade assembly includes a cutting blade member for cutting a log off a tree trunk. A chain is attached to a cutting blade member and the support table, such that when the cutting blade member is driven downward towards the tree trunk, the connected chain and support table are lowered assisting the actuation of the cutting blade member via the pulley system.

A pickup and alignment mechanism for logs is disclosed along with a method of using the mechanism. The pickup and alignment mechanism includes a frame, a connector and a plurality of L-shaped tines secured to the frame. The plurality of L-shaped tines is grouped into pairs. The pickup and alignment mechanism also includes a pair of side tines. The pickup and alignment mechanism is designed to be removably mounted to a motorized vehicle. All of the L-shaped tines can be hydraulically or pneumatically actuated to remove from between one to six logs from a stacked pile of logs. The one to six logs are then raised above ground level and are aligned relative to one another so that they can be easily cut into smaller piece of firewood by a person with a chain saw.
