and lower cut. The meeting point between the two 
sides of the notch is called “directional cut line” This 
line must be perfectly horizontal at right angles (90°) 
to the felling direction. 
The felling cut that provokes the tree fall, is performed 
at 3 to 5 cm above the lower part of the directional 
felling cut line, finishing at a distance of 1/10 of the 
trunk from the notch. Remain on the left hand side of 
the tree and cut using the chain pulling method and 
the spiked bumper. Check that the tree does not 
move in a direction other than that predicted for the 
fall. As soon as possible insert a felling lever or 
wedge into the cut. The uncut part of the trunk is 
called the “hinge”, as it is intended to guide the tree 
as it falls; in cases where the cuts are not sufficient, 
not straight, or have been cut through completely, the 

tree fall cannot be controlled (extremely dangerous!). 
For this reason the various cuts must be performed 
with great precision. 
When cutting operations are completed the tree will 
begin to fall. Where necessary help tree fall using 
wedges or felling levers 

Limbing

 

Once the tree has been felled, the trunk must be 
limbed: in other words, the branches are removed 
from the trunk. Do not underestimate this operation 
because the large majority of kickback accidents 
occur during this stage. For this reason pay close 
attention to the position of the bar nose during cutting 
operations and always work on the left hand side of 
the trunk.
