FELLING A TREE

be
1. Decide the felling direction considering the
wind, lean of the tree, location of heavy
branches , ease of completing the task after
felling and other factors.
2. While clearing the area around the tree,
arrange a good foothold and retreat path.
3. Make a notch cut one-third of the way into the
tree on the felling side.
4. Make a felling cut from the opposite side of
the notch and at a level slightly higher than
the bottom of the notch.
When you fell a tree, be sure to warn
neighboring worker of the danger.

Always ensure your foothold. Do
⚫
not stand on the log.
Be alert to the rolling over of a cut
⚫
log. Especially when working on a
slope, stand on the uphill side of
the log.
Follow the instructions in "For Safe
⚫
Operation" to avoid kickback of the
saw.
Before starting work, check the direction of
bending force inside the log to be cut. Always
finish cutting from the opposite side of the
bending direction to prevent the guide bar from
being caught in the cut.

It is extremely important that the
chain brake be checked for proper
operation before each use and
that the chain be sharp in order to
maintain the kickback safety level
of this saw. Removal of the safety
devices, inadequate maintenance,
or incorrect repla- cement of the
bar or chain may increase the risk
at serious per- sonal injury due to
kickback.
