Felling back cut

See page 17 - 18.

Make the felling back cut at least 50 mm/2 in higher 
than the horizontal notching cut. Keep the felling back 
cut parallel to the horizontal notching cut. Make the 
felling back cut so enough wood is left to act as a hinge. 
The hinge wood keeps the tree from twisting and falling 
in the wrong direction. Do not cut through the hinge.

As the felling gets close to the hinge, the tree should 
begin to fall. If there is any chance that the tree may 
not fall in desired direction or it may rock back and 
bind the saw chain, stop cutting before the felling back 
cut is complete and use wedges of wood, plastic or 
aluminium to open the cut and drop the tree along the 
desired line of fall.

When the tree begins to fall remove the chainsaw from 
the cut, stop the motor, put the chainsaw down, then 
use the retreat path planned. Be alert for overhead 
limbs falling and watch your footing.

Removing buttress roots

See page 18.

A buttress root is a large root extending from the trunk of 
the tree above the ground. Remove large buttress roots

followed by the vertical cut. Remove the resulting loose 
section from the work area. Follow the correct tree felling 
procedure after you have removed the large buttress roots. 

Bucking a log

See page 19.

Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is important to 

PDNH VXUH \RXU IRRWLQJ LV ¿UP DQG \RXU ZHLJKW LV HYHQO\

distributed on both feet. When possible, the log should be 
raised and supported by the use of limbs, logs or chocks. 
Follow the simple directions for easy cutting. When the log 
is supported along its entire length, it is cut from the top

When the log is supported on one end, cut 1/3 the diameter

GLDPHWHUIURPWKHWRSRYHUEXFN7KHQPDNHWKH¿QLVKHG

When bucking on a slope always stand on the uphill side 
of the log. When “cutting through”, to maintain complete 
control release the cutting pressure near the end of the 
cut without relaxing your grip on the chainsaw handles. 
Don’t let the chain contact the ground. After completing the 
cut, wait for the saw chain to stop before you move the 
chainsaw. Always stop the motor before moving from tree 
to tree.

Limbing a tree

See page 20.

Limbing is removing the branches from a fallen tree. When 
limbing leave larger lower limbs to support the log off the 
ground. Remove the small limbs in one cut. Branches 
under tension should be cut from the bottom up to avoid 
binding the chainsaw.

Cutting springpoles

See page 20.

A springpole is any log, branch, rooted stump, or sapling 
which is bent under tension by other wood so that it springs 
back if the wood holding it is cut or removed.

On a fallen tree, a rooted stump has a high potential of 
springing back to the upright position during the bucking 
cut to separate the log from the stump. Watch out for 
springpoles—they are dangerous.

 WARNING

Springpoles are dangerous and could strike the operator, 
causing the operator to lose control of the chainsaw. 
This could result in severe or fatal injury to the operator. 
This should be done by trained users.

RESIDUAL RISKS

Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still 
impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk 
factors. The following hazards may arise in use and the 
operator should pay special attention to avoid the following:

 

Ŷ

Injury caused by vibration. Always use the right tool for 
the job, use designated handles and restrict working 
time and exposure.

 

Ŷ

Exposure to noise can cause hearing injury. Wear ear 
protection and limit exposure.

may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome 
in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling, 

QXPEQHVV DQG EODQFKLQJ RI WKH ¿QJHUV XVXDOO\ DSSDUHQW

upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to 
cold and dampness, diet, smoking and work practices 
are all thought to contribute to the development of these 
symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the 
operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:

 

Ŷ

Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating 
the unit wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists 
warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor 
contributing to Raynaud’s Syndrome.

 

Ŷ

After each period of operation, exercise to increase 
blood circulation.

 

Ŷ

Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of 
exposure per day.
