zontal cut. The cut depth should
be around 1/3 of the trunk diam-
eter. This will prevent the saw
chain or the guard rails from jam-
ming when placing the second
chamfer. Now make a slanted
saw cut from above at an angle
of roughly 45° to meet exactly
with the bottom saw cut.
Never step in front of a tree
which is notched.
4.
Felling back cut (B):
Make the back cut from the other
side of the log, where you stand
to the left of the log and saw with
the chainsaw pulling. The back
cut must run horizontally 5 cm
above the horizontal notched cut.
The back cut should be so deep
that the separation distance be-
tween the back cut and the notch
cutting line is at least 1/10 of the
trunk diameter. The part of the
stem not sawn through is called
a stay (felling gib). The stay pre-
vents the tree from turning and
falling in the wrong direction. Do
not saw through the stay.gen Sie
den Steg nicht durch.
5. As you approach the felling cut
on the stay the tree should start
falling. If it becomes apparent
that the tree may not fall in the re-
quired direction or is leaning back,
and the saw chain is jamming,
stop felling and use wedges made
of wood, plastic or aluminium to
open the cut and to tilt the tree in
the required felling line.
6. If the trunk diameter is larger
than the length of the chain bar,
make two cuts.
For safety reasons, we advise in-
experienced users not to fell any
logs with a rail length which is
smaller than the trunk diameter.
7. After carrying out of the back cut,
the tree falls by itself or with the
aid of the felling wedge or crow-
bar.
As soon as the tree begins to
fall, pull out the saw from the
section, stop the motor, place
the chainsaw down and leave the
workplace using the withdrawal
path.
Pay attention to falling branches
and do not stumble.
