•
The working environment around the tree should be cleared so you have secure
footing.
•
The machine operator should always be positioned at a higher level in the
working area because the tree will probably roll or slide down after felling.
The following conditions can influence the tree‘s falling direction:
•
Wind direction and speed
•
Leaning of the tree - The leaning direction cannot always be recognised
because of uneven or sloping ground. Determine the leaning direction of the
tree using a plumb line or a level.
•
Branches growing (and therefore weight) only on one side
•
Surrounding trees or obstacles
Look out for destroyed or decayed parts of the tree.
If the trunk is decayed, it
can suddenly break and fall on you. Make sure there is sufficient space for the
falling tree. Keep a distance of 2½ tree lengths to the next person or other objects.
The sound of the motor can drown out warning cries.
Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, brackets and wire from the sawing area.

Ensure you have a free escape route (Fig. A)
Position 1: Escape route
Position 2: Falling direction of the tree
Felling of large trees (from 15cm diameter) - only with relevant training
The undercutting method is used for felling large trees. For this, a wedge is cut out
from the side of the tree according to the required falling direction. After the
dropping cut has been made on the other side of the tree, it will fall in the direction of
the wedge cut.
m
NOTICE
If the tree has large prop/buttress roots, these should be removed before the wedge
is cut. If the saw is used for removing the prop/buttress roots, the saw-chain should
not touch the ground so the chain does not become blunt.
Undercut and felling the tree (Fig. B-C)
•
For the undercut, first cut the upper part (Pos. 1) of the wedge (Pos. 2). Cut 1/3
of the way into the tree. Then saw the lower part (Pos. 3) of the wedge (Pos. 2).
