It is recommended that the first-time user should, as a
minimum practice, start cutting logs on a saw-horse or cradle.
Before you start to fell a tree, make sure that:
•
The minimum distance between the areas of bucking and
felling performed by two or more persons at the same
time is two times the height of the tree felled.
•
The operation does not:
•
Cause injury to personnel.
•
Hit utility lines. If the tree touches utility lines,
immediately tell the utility company.
•
Cause losses in property.
•
The user is not in the danger area (24), for example, the
downhill side of the area.
•
The escape paths (25) that extend back and diagonally
behind the felling direction (23) are clear. The felling
direction is controlled by:
•
The natural lean of the tree.
•
The location of larger branches.
•
The wind direction.
•
Ensure there is no dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, or staples
on the tree.
