•

Operate the harvester head safely. The chain shot
hazard zone is approximately 15 degrees towards the
rear sprocket and in front of the saw bar tip.

•

Do not operate the harvester head with the window
open.

•

Ensure the chain shot protection device is installed and
properly maintained.

Chain shot Hazard Zone

Bucking and Piling

•

Place processed logs in a stable position with safe
access for the forwarder.

•

Make parallel, even, piles of logs, with matching ends.

•

Create a debris mat from limbs and tops to help
distribute carrier weight and reduce soil impact.

•

Sort logs by class or species.

•

Exceeding harvester head capacity is not
recommended.
