Felling cut
Give a warning cry of "timber!" before
making the felling cut.
N
Make the felling cut (D) slightly
higher than the horizontal cut of the
felling notch
–
Exactly horizontal
–
approx. 1/10 of the diameter of the
trunk must remain standing
between the felling cut and the
notch = bridge
Insert wedges in the felling cut in time –
use only wedges made of wood, light
metal or plastic – no steel wedges. Steel
wedges damage the saw chain and can
cause kickback.
The
bridge
(E) functions as a hinge to
guide the tree to the ground.
–
Never saw through the bridge while
felling – otherwise the tree with fall
in a direction other than the one
planned –
risk of accident!
–
With rotten trunks, leave a wider
bridge
Immediately before felling the tree, give
out a second warning cry of "timber!".
Thin trunks: simple fan cut
N
Engage the spiked bumper behind
the hinge. Pivot the chain saw
around this point – only as far as the
bridge – the spiked bumper rolls
against the trunk.
