Warning:
Before making the final cut, always recheck the area for bystanders, animals,
and/or obstacles
Warning:
As the felling cut (D) gets close to the hinge (F), the tree should begin to fall.
Remove saw from cut, stop the engine, put the chainsaw down and leave the area by the
retreat path (Fig. 3).
Warning:
Never cut tree limbs while standing on tree trunk.
Make the felling cut (D) from the other side of the tree and 1.5 - 2.0 inches above the edge
of notch (C) (Fig.4)
Never saw completely through the trunk. Always leave a hinge (F). The hinge guides the
tree. If the trunk is completely cut through, control over the felling direction is lost. Insert
a wedge or felling lever in the cut (D) well before the tree becomes unstable and starts to
move. This will prevent the guide bar from binding in felling cut if you have misjudged the
falling direction. Make sure no bystanders have entered the range of the falling tree before
you push it over.
LIMBING
Limbing a tree is the process of removing the branches from a fallen tree(Fig.7). Do not
remove supporting limbs( A). Branches under tension should be cut from the bottom up to
avoid binding the chainsaw.

1. Use wooden or plastic wedges (A) to prevent binding the bar or chain (B) in the cut (Fig. 5).
2. When diameter of wood being cut is greater than the bar length, make 2 cuts as shown
(Fig. 6).
