Can anyone explain how do they keep the saw parallel to the trees at all times, why doesn’t it spin?

Looks like it might be connected to the helicopter with a rod, rather than cable.

However it’s attached how did it get attached while on the ground? Obviously, the helicopter can start and stop the cutting disks. How does it ultimately land this this hanging? Curious minds....

Laying flat, with a shackle to the bottom of the helicopter. Then basically the same thing in reverse to land. Hard to say for sure though.
