Whilst cutting use the machine delicately. Only provide
a small pressure downwards but with the machine
at full throttle. The weight of the machine will be

7.3.1. FELLING A TREE
Felling a tree is dangerous as branches or/and the

To fell a tree follow the following steps:
1. Decide in which direction you
want the tree to fall (A). Take
into account the inclination of
the tree, the length of the
branches and that these
could change direction when
falling.
2. Verify that there are no other trees, branches or
obstacles onto which the felled tree could fall onto.
3. Check the final position of the tree so as to cut
properly.
