Procedure
1. Limbing (Fig. H)
Remove branches hanging down-
wards by sawing from the top
of the branch. Never saw off
branches higher than shoulder
height.
2. Escape area (Fig. I)
Remove the undergrowth around
the tree to ensure an easy retreat.
The escape area (1) should be
offset by about 45° behind the
planned felling direction (2).
3. Cut drop notch (A) (Fig. J)
Place a drop notch in the direc-
tion in which you want the tree to
fall. Start with the lower, horizont-
al cut. The cutting depth should
be about 1/3 of the trunk diameter.
Now make an oblique saw cut with
a cutting angle of approximately
45° from above, which meets the
lower saw cut exactly. This pre-
vents the saw chain or guide rail
from jamming when the second
notch cut is made.
WARNING! Never step in front
of a tree that is notched.
4. Felling cut (B) (Fig. J)
Make the felling cut from the other
side of the trunk. Stand to the left
of the tree trunk and saw with the
saw chain pulling (with the under-
side of the blade bar). The felling
cut must be at least 5 cm above
the horizontal notch section. It
should be deep enough so that the
distance to the notch cutting line
is at least 1/10 of the trunk dia-
meter. The part of the log that has
not been sawn through is called
the hinge (felling bar). The hinge
prevents the tree from turning and
falling in the wrong direction. Do
not cut through this hinge.
48
When the felling cut nears the
hinge, the tree should begin to fall.
If it becomes apparent that the
tree will not fall in the desired dir-
ection or if it bends back, and if
the saw chain is stuck, discontin-
ue the felling cut. Use wooden,
plastic or aluminium wedges to
open the cut and fell the tree to fall
into the desired fall line.
5. Slide a cutting wedge into the
felling cut as soon as the cutting
depth so permits, in order to pre-
vent the blade bar from getting
jammed (Fig. K).
6. If the trunk diameter is greater
than the length of the blade bar,
make two cuts (Fig. L).
7. Once the felling cut has been
made, the tree falls by itself or with
the help of the felling wedge.
WARNING! As soon as the tree
starts to fall, pull the chainsaw out
of the cut, stop the engine, put the
chainsaw down and leave the work-
place via the retreat path. Pay atten-
tion to falling branches and do not
stumble.
Limbing
Limbing is the term for removing
branches and twigs from a felled tree.
CAUTION! Risk of injury! Nev-
er saw off branches when you are
standing on the tree trunk. Keep
an eye on the kickback area when
branches are under tension.
(Fig. H)
• Only remove support branches
after cutting to length.
• Saw branches under tension from
the bottom upwards to prevent the
chainsaw from jamming.
• Use the same technique as for
Cutting to length, p. 49 when
sawing off thicker branches.
