WARNING!
Most ‘kickback’ accidents happen during limbing! Pay
close attention to the position of the ‘kickback’ zone of the bar when
you are ‘limbing’ branches that are under tension!
Felling a tree
WARNING!
Before commencing work or attempting to fell any tree,
check with your Local Council to ensure you have permission!
Even in your own garden you may be in a conservation area, the
tree you wish to fell may have a conservation order against it or
the tree may be visible on the plans of your house – In all these
instances and more, you may be required to obtain permission
before work can begin!
1. When bucking and felling operations are being performed by two or more
persons at the same time, the felling operations should be separated from
the bucking operation by a distance of at least twice the height of the tree
being felled. Trees should not be felled in a manner that would endanger
any person, strike any utility line or cause any property damage. If the tree
does make contact with any utility line, the company should be notied
immediately.
2. The product operator should keep on the uphill side of the terrain as the
tree is likely to roll or slide downhill after it is felled.
3. An escape path should be planned and cleared as necessary before cuts
are started. The escape path should extend back and diagonally to the rear
of the expected line of fall (Fig. 28).
Fig. 28
4. Before felling is started, consider the natural lean of the tree, the location of
larger branches and the wind direction to judge which way the tree will fall.
5. Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples and wire from the tree.
