Felling a Tree

 

 

Never operate 

this attachment when bystanders are 
in proximity of the work area that 
could result in Minor or Serious Injury 
from flying debris, falling trees or 
branches. 

 

 

Use care when 

operating on uneven terrain or any 
type of sloped surface. Keep your saw 
low to the ground when working in 
these conditions to avoid a roll over 
that could result in Minor or Serious 
Injury. 

 

1.

 

Assess the size of the tree. Do not 
exceed the capacity for this 
attachment (8

”).

 

2.

 

Decide the direction of the tree 
fall, and approach the tree from 
the side behind the intended fall 
direction. 

3.

 

Align the saw blade with the side 
of the tree, but do not start the 
cut until the blade comes up to 
operating speed. 

4.

 

Slowly approach the tree and 
ease the saw blade down into 
the side of the tree. 

5.

 

Listen to the sound of the skid 
steer. If the engine begins to bog 
down and or the saw blade slows, 
pause the downward advance 
into the tree. 

6.

 

As the saw nears the completion 
of the cut, allow the branch to 
hang and then complete the 
remainder of the cut. 

7.

 

Operate at a safe pace that will 
allow you to watch the area 
around the attachment & loader. 

8.

 

Your Side Cut Tree Saw is 
capable of cutting trees and 
other vegetation of up to 8

” 

(254mm) in diameter. Learn and 
realize 

which way the tree is likely to fall 
so it does not end up crashing 
onto you in the skid steer 

 

Delimbing & Trimming

 

 

Your skid steer 

should be equipped with forestry 
screen guards to prevent falling limbs 
from entering the cab area, 
preventing an accident that could 
result in Death or Serious Injury. 

 

Delimbing and trimming branches is a 
skilled operation requiring careful 
safety planning. Limbs falling on your 
skid steer are unsafe
