Before bending a branch or trunk in bending, observe the
direction of bending and finish the cut opposite the bending
side to prevent the chain guide from getting stuck in the cut.
a. Felling of trees
Examine the work area and estimate where the tree will fall.
Start the machine as described above. Start by making a
notch in the direction of fall chosen.
When the tree falls, shout or make a beep to alert people in
the vicinity. When the shaft falls, you must move away from
the cutting area.
b. Trunk on the ground
Cut half of the trunk, turn it over and finish the cut on the
other side.
c. Trunk in elevation
Begin by cutting a first part from below and then from above.
Then, on the second part, repeat this operation.
b. Pruning of a felled tree
Observe first the direction of flexion of the branch. Make
a first notch on the side in flexion and finish the cut on the
opposite side.
c. Pruning a tree
Begin pruning by nicking the tree from below and then finish
at the top.
