WORKING TECHNIQUES

English – 27

Felling cut

The felling cut is made from the opposite side of the tree

and it must be perfectly horizontal. Try to take a correct

position so you are able to cut on the pull stroke.

Make the felling cut about 3-5 cm (1.5-2 inches) above the

bottom directional cut.

Set the spike bumper (if one is ﬁtted) just behind the felling

hinge

Use full throttle and advance the chain/bar slowly

into the tree. Make sure the tree-top does not start to

move in the opposite direction to your intended felling

direction.

Finish the felling cut parallel with the directional cut line so

that the distance betw

een them is at least 1/10 of the

unk diameter. The uncut section of the trunk is called the

felling hinge.

The felling hinge controls the direction that the tree falls in.

All control over the felling direction is lost if the felling

hinge is too narro

w or non-e

xistent, or if the directional

cuts and felling cut are badly placed.

We recommend that you use a bar that is longer than the

diameter of the tree

, so that y

ou can make the felling cut

and directional cuts with single cutting strokes. See the

Technical data section to ﬁnd out which lengths of bar are

recommended for your saw.

There are methods for felling trees with a diameter larger

than the bar length.

wever these methods involve a

much greater risk that the kickback zone of the bar will

come into contact with the tree.

Freeing a tree that has fallen badly

Cutting trees and branches that are in tension

Preparations:

Work out which side is in tension and where the point of

maximum tension is (i.e

. where it would break if it was

bent even more).

Decide which is the safest way to release the tension and

whether y

ou are able to do it safely. In complicated

situations the only safe method is to put aside your chain

saw and use a winch.

General advice:

Position yourself so that you will be clear of the tree or

branch when the tension is released.

Make one or more cuts at or near the point of maximum

tension. Mak

e as many cuts of sufﬁcient depth as

necessary to reduce the tension and make the tree or

branch break at the point of maximum tension.

Never cut straight through a tree or branch that is in

tension!

WARNING! Unless you have special

training we advise you not to fell trees

with a diameter larger than the bar length

of your saw!
