5 Application
Felling:
Set the supplied flexible head ratchet to a right rotation. The wedge can be driven in until
the threading on the outside is no longer visible and the telescopic ratchet touches the nut.
Wedge retrieval:
Set the supplied flexible head ratchet to a left rotation. Wind the wedge back until it touches
the nut.
Felling a tree of normal strength:
-
Apply a proper felling technique in accordance with the good, professional practice of
forest work.
-
Place classic wedges in the saw cut to keep it open.
-
Use the saw to widen the cut at the top and bottom before applying the mechanical
felling wedge TR24. Make sure it fits cleanly into the felling cut with all “barbed
hooks”. Both spring steel plates must engage the wood evenly.
-
Place the mechanical felling wedge TR24 horizontally into the saw cut (if the wedge is
inserted diagonally up or down, this can lead to increased wear and fatigue).
-
Carefully drive the wedge into the saw cut using the ratchet until the tree starts to
fall.
-
Keep feeding the classic wedges for support while driving the felling wedge TR24
further into the cut.
