direction of the fall

For a conventional cut:

: Properly place felling notch

perpendicular to the line of fall,

close to the ground

: Cut down at app. 45-degree angle

to a depth of about 1/5 to 1/4 of the

trunk diameter

Open-face technique

A = felling notch - determines the

direction of the fall

For an open-face cut:

: Properly place felling notch

perpendicular to the line of fall,

close to the ground

: Cut down at app. 50-degree angle

to a depth of app.1/5 to 1/4 of the

trunk diameter

: Make second cut from below at app.

40 degree angle

: Remove resulting 90-degree piece

Making sapwood cuts

: For medium sized or larger trees

make cuts at both sides of the trunk,

: at same height as subsequent

felling cut.

: Cut to no more than width of guide

bar.

This is especially important in

softwood in summer - it helps

prevent sapwood splintering when

the tree falls.
