I would recommend marking it where it needs to be trimmed and using something like a rotary cutoff tool. Make sure you have the garnish secured so that it does not move around when trimming. The edges will be sharp after trimming the garnish so I would suggest using sandpaper to smooth the edges that have been trimmed.

A chainsaw might not give you as clean of a cut as you'd like...
