• After performing the felling cut, the tree falls by itself
or with the help of the felling wedge or crowbar.
DANGER
As soon as the tree begins to fall, remove the product
from the cut, stop the engine, place the product down
and leave the workplace via the escape route.
Watch out for falling branches and do not trip.
10.3.6
Release a jammed chainsaw
If the chainsaw becomes jammed during cutting, proceed
as follows:
1. Switch off the chainsaw and secure it on the inside of
the tree trunk (i.e. towards the tree trunk) or attach it
to a separate tool rope.
2. Pull the chainsaw out of the notch while lifting the
branch as far as necessary.
3. If necessary, use a handsaw or second chainsaw to
loosen the jammed chainsaw by cutting at least 30 cm
away from the jammed chainsaw.
Regardless of whether a hand saw or a chainsaw is used
to release a trapped chainsaw, the cuts to release the
chainsaw should always be made on the outside (towards
the tips of the branches) so that the chainsaw does not
get carried away with the sawn-off parts and further com-
plicate the situation.
