FELLING A TREE
1.
Decide the felling detection considering the wind, lean of the tree,location of
heavy branches, ease of completing the task after felling and other factors.
2.
While clearing the area around the tree. arrange a good foot hold and recreate
path.
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.
When you fell a tree ,be sure to warn neighboring workers of the
danger.
Bucking and Lambing
Always ensure your 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 "For Safe Operation" to avoid kickback of
the saw.
Before starting work. check the direction of bending force inside the log to be cut.
Always finish cutting from the opposite side of the bending direction to prevent the
guide bar from being caught in the cut.
