Now remove the wedge you have cut out.
•
Afterwards, you can carry out the dropping cut on the opposite side of the tree
(Pos. 4). For this, start about 5cm above the middle of the cut. In this way, there
is enough wood between the dropping cut (Pos. 4) and the wedge (Pos. 2) so
that it functions as a hinge. This hinge is designed to guide the tree in the right
direction when falling.
m
NOTICE
Before completing the dropping cut, if required, increase the cut using wedges to
control the direction of the fall. Exclusively use wood or plastic wedges. Steel or iron
wedges can cause kickback and damage to the device.
•
Be aware of signs that the tree is beginning to fall: Cracking sounds, the
dropping cut opening or movement in the upper branches.
•
When the tree begins to fall, stop the saw, put it down and leave immediately
via your escape route.
•
To prevent injuries, do not cut partly felled trees with your saw. Beware
especially of partly felled trees which are not supported. If a tree does not fall
down completely, remove the saw and help the process along with a cable
winch, a pulley or a towing vehicle.
Sawing a felled tree (log division)
The term „log division“ describes the cutting up of a felled tree into logs of the
desired length.
m
CAUTION
Do not stand on the log you are currently cutting. The log could roll away and you
may lose your footing and control of the device. Do not carry out sawing work on
sloping ground.
Important notices
•
Only ever saw one log or branch.
•
Be careful when cutting split wood. You may be hit by sharp pieces of wood.
•
Cut small logs or branches on a sawhorse. When cutting logs, no other person
must hold on to the log. Do not secure the log with your leg or foot.
•
Do not use the saw in areas where logs, roots and other parts of the tree are
entangled. Pull the logs to a free area and cut the freed logs first.
