Basic working instructions for felling work
10.2.1 Creating the fall notch (g. F)
• First start with the cut of the fall notch A. The depth of the fall notch should be approx. 1/4
of the tree diameter and have an angle of 45°- 60°.
10.2.2 Checking the felling direction (g. G)
Place the chainsaw with the guide bar (16) at the bottom of the notch cut.
If necessary, recut the notch cut accordingly.
10.3 Carrying out the felling cut (g. F)
• Place the felling cut B approx. 2-3 cm higher than the horizontal cut of the fall notch A.
Make sure that felling cut B is carried out exactly horizontally.
• Leave approx. 1/10 of the tree diameter, the breaking strip C before felling cut B. Breaking
strip C guides the tree to the ground like a hinge and secures it against premature falling.
m WARNING
Danger of accident!
Do not under any circumstances saw the breaking strip C during felling cut B, otherwise the
tree may fall in an unpredictable direction!
Be prepared for the tree to “slide” uncontrollably when falling on the cut.
Be prepared for the tree to “jump” uncontrollably in one direction when it hits the ground.
• To prevent the chainsaw from jamming in felling cut B, drive aluminium or plastic wedges
into felling cut B in good time. Do not use iron wedges.
m ATTENTION
Property damage!
Make sure that the wedge does not come into contact with the saw chain (17). It can be
severely damaged by this.
10.4 Limbing work
• Always be aware of the danger of branches snapping back.
• Do not stand on the trunk when limbing.
• Do not saw with the tip of the guide bar.
• Never saw several branches at once.
• Support the chainsaw with the claw stop (15) when limbing, if possible.
• Make sure that at the end of the cut the chainsaw can swing through under its own
weight. It is no longer supported in the cut so hold it securely.
• Take a rm, stable and secure stance when limbing.
