General cutting instructions
Felling
Felling is the term for cutting down a tree. Small trees up to 15-18
cm in diameter are usually cut in a single cut. Larger trees require
notch cuts. Notch cuts determine the direction the tree will fall.
Warning! A retreat path (A) should be planned and
cleared as necessary before cuts are started. The
retreat path should extend back and diagonally to the
rear of the expected line of fall, as illustrated in Fig. 11.
Warning! If felling a tree on sloping ground, the chain
saw operator should keep on the uphill side of the
terrain, as the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill after
it is felled.
felling a tree
note:
Direction of fall (B) is controlled by the notching cut.
Before any cuts are made, consider the location of larger
branches and natural lean of the tree to determine the way the
tree will fall.
