WARNING!
- Always ensure a stable foothold. Do not stand on
the log.
- Be alert to the rolling over of a cut log. Especially
when working on a slope, stand on the uphill side
of the log.
- Follow the instructions in “Safety Instructions” to
avoid kickback of the saw.
- Before starting work, check the direction of the
bending force inside the log to be cut. Always
finish cutting from the opposite side of the bending
3. Make a notch cut one-third of the way into the tree on the
felling side.
4. Make a felling cut from the opposite side of the notch and
at a level slightly higher than the bottom of the notch.
5. Escape path: First clear the tree base and work area of
interfering limbs and brush and clean its lower portion with an
axe. Then, establish two paths of escape (B) and remove all
obstacles. These paths should be generally opposite to the
planned direction of the fall of the tree (A) and about at a 45°
angle. Place all tools and equipment a safe distance away
from the tree, but not on the escape paths.
