to notch Explanation: I don't have a techn. dictionary handy, but *to notch* seems logical. And *notch* is used as a verb. hth Nina |

to notch Explanation: I agree with the other answer; a double-check in my Landwirtschaft Forstwirtschaft Gartenbau dictionary gives "den Fallkerb (Schrot) anlegen (Baumfällung)" (which seems consistent with your description). Kristina |

"to start" Explanation: I think "to notch" is probably not right. I know we use "to notch" for the cutting of a wedge out of a tree before the main sawing starts to control the fall direction. Ernst gives "to give a cut with a saw" which is correct enough but unhandy to use. Langenscheidt gives "to saw into" which I prefer to Ernst. I have always said "to start" the saw cut. For example: "One has to start a cut by pilling the saw back." - HTH - Dan |

correction Explanation: It should of course read "pulling" not "pilling". - Dan |

see below Explanation: just some alternatives: making the first cut, starting the cut. Depending on your application, possibly plunge-cut / plunge-cutting (im Sinne von einstechen). HTH, Beth. Green/Oberg, Machinery's Handbook 25 |

To give a cut with the saw Explanation: Ernst. This encompasses several concepts and does not limit the word to any one aspect. |

make (start) a cut (with a saw) Explanation: Ernst has it as "give a cut with a saw" but hereabouts they would usually say it as stated above. There is no single verb I know of in English. |
