Determine direction of fall and escape
paths
Select gap in stand into which you want
the tree to fall.
Pay special attention to the following
points:
–
The natural lean of the tree
–
Any unusually heavy limb structure,
damage
–
The wind direction and speed – do
not fell in high winds
–
Sloping ground
–
Neighboring trees
–
Snow load
–
Soundness of tree – take special
care if trunk is damaged or in case
of deadwood (dry, decayed or rotted
wood)
A Direction of fall
B Escape paths
–
Establish paths of escape for
everyone concerned – opposite to
direction of fall at about 45°.
–
Remove all obstacles from escape
paths.
–
Place all tools and equipment a safe
distance away from the tree, but not
on the escape paths.
–
Always keep to the side of the falling
tree and only walk away along the
preplanned escape path.
–
On steep slopes, plan escape
routes parallel to the slope.
–
When walking away along the
escape path, watch out for falling
limbs and watch the top of the tree.
Preparing work area at base of tree
–
First clear the tree base and work
area from interfering limbs and
brush to provide a secure footing.
–
Clean lower portion of tree base
(e.g. with an axe) – sand, stones
and other foreign objects will dull the
saw chain.
–
Remove large buttress roots: Make
the vertical cut first, then the
horizontal – but only if the wood is
sound
Making felling notch
When making the felling notch, make
use of the gunning sight on the shroud
and fan housing to check the planned
direction of fall.
Position your saw so that the gunning
sight points in exactly the direction you
want the tree to fall.
There are several approved methods for
making the felling notch – observe
country-specific regulations on felling
techniques.
