●To fell trees, observe all the safety regulations and proceed as follows:
The chainsaw may be used to fell only trees which are smaller in diameter than the length of the
bar and chain. If the saw chain gets jammed, release it using a wooden wedge.
●Felling trees is dangerous and requires practice. If you are inexperienced, do not try to teach
yourself but seek professional training.
Falling direction:
First estimate the direction of fall, taking into account the centre of gravity of the crown and the
wind direction.
Switch on the chain saw and saw an undercut in the tree in the direction of fall and then
make a horizontal cut (back cut) on the side opposite to the undercut. Make the undercut: This
will give the tree a direction and guidance.
- Check the direction of fall: If you have to correct the undercut, always re-cut over the entire
width.
- Now call “Timber”!
- Only now make the back cut, which must be higher than the sole of the undercut. Insert
wedges in time.
- Leave the wedge in place as it will function as a hinge. If you cut through the wedge, the tree
will fall randomly.
-Fell the tree by driving a wedge into the back cut, not by sawing through it.
When the tree falls, step back and watch the crown.
Wait for the crown to stop swinging. Do not continue working under branches which have got
stuck.
