Warning!
Before making the final cut check again that
there are no onlookers, pets or other obstacles within
the area.
1. Use a felling wedge of plastic or wood (A) to prevent
the guide bar (B) from being clamped down upon in
the cut (fig. 19).
Warning!
When the fell cut (D) has been cut so deep that only the wedge (F) is left the tree can begin to fall,
otherwise you must use a felling wedge or breaking bar to help.
Take away the chainsaw and switch off the motor. Take a few steps diagonally back and to the side in your
escape route (A) and keep your eye on the tree when is falls (see fig. 17).
10. Snedding
Snedding means cutting away the branches and shoots of a fallen tree. Start by cutting the higher branches on
the tree. Stand to one side of the tree and de-limb them from the other side of the trunk (the trunk will serve as
protection between you and the chainsaw). Use caution when cutting branches which are under tension.
They must be cut from the correct side; otherwise the guide bar will get stuck.
2. If the diameter of the tree is larger than the length of the guide
bar you must make two cuts (fig. 20).
Warning!
Never stand on the tree trunk while snedding.
