Felling
Shout a warning before starting the
felling cut.
N Make the felling cut (D) slightly
higher than bottom of the felling
notch.
– Cut horizontally.
– Leave approx. 1/10 of the tree
diameter uncut between the felling
cut and the felling notch. This is the
hinge.
Drive wedges into the felling cut in good
time. Use only wooden, aluminum or
plastic wedges. Never steel, which can
damage the chain and cause kickback.
The hinge (E) helps control the falling
tree.
– Do not cut through the hinge – you
could lose control of the direction of
fall – this could result in an
accident.
– Leave a broader hinge on rotten
trees.
Shout a second warning immediately
before the tree falls.
Small diameter trees: Simple fan cut
N Apply the spiked bumper behind the
hinge – pivot the saw around this
point - only as far as the hinge. The
spiked bumper rolls against the
trunk.
