To fell a tree
McCulloch
recommends you to make the directional cuts
and then use the safe corner method when you fell a
tree. The safe corner method helps you to make a
correct felling hinge and control the felling direction.
WARNING: Do not fell trees with a
diameter that is more than two times larger
than the guide bar length. For this, you must
have special training.
The felling hinge
The most important procedure during tree felling is to
make the correct felling hinge. With a correct felling
hinge, you control the felling direction and make sure
that the felling procedure is safe.
The thickness of the felling hinge must be equal and a
minimum of 10% of the tree diameter.
WARNING: If the felling hinge is
incorrect or too thin, you have no control of
the felling direction.
To make the directional cuts
1.
Make the directional cuts ¼ of the diameter of the
tree. Make a 45°-70° angle between the top
directional cut and bottom directional cut.
45º-70º
a) Make the top directional cut. Align the felling
direction mark (1) of the product with the felling
direction of the tree (2). Stay behind the product
and keep the tree on your left side. Cut with a
pull stroke.
b) Make the bottom directional cut. Make sure that
the end of the bottom directional cut is at the
same point as the end of the top directional cut.

2. Make sure that the bottom directional cut is
horizontal and at a 90° angle to the felling direction.
To use the safe corner method
The felling cut must be made slightly above the
directional cut.
WARNING: Be careful when you cut
with the guide bar tip. Start to cut with the
lower section of the guide bar tip as you
make a bore cut into the trunk.
