inclination of the tree, its width and its branches, as
this could affect the direction in which the tree falls.
2. Check there are no other trees, branches or
obstacles which could be in the way of the tree
when it falls.
3. Check the position in which the tree will be once it
has fallen, in order to ba able to embark on the
cutting tasks.
4. Clear the area
around the tree.
Make sure you are
going to work in a
stable position and
establish an easy
and clear escape
which allows you
to run away if
the tree falls in
an unexpected
direction.
The safety distance
must be equivalent
to at least two
lengths of the tree.
5. Remove the first branches. Firstly remove the
lower branches which make the task more difficult.
Remember that you must never cut the branches
that are above shoulder height. Remember to never
stand directly behind the tool.
6. Make a guiding cut (B) in the shape of a wedge,
the size of a quarter of the width of the tree (1/4d)
on the side on where you want the tree to fall (E).
To do this, make a top cut of 60º and a bottom cut
of 35º. This will ensure the two cuts will form an
angle of 90º, it is important that the two cuts
make a perfect joint, so they can act as a hinge in
the appropriate direction of the fall.
Suggestion: Before going on to the next step add fuel
and chain oil, in order to ensure the tool does not stop
unexpectedly during the tasks that follow.
7. Start the felling cut (C) from the opposite side to
the guiding cut and at a slightly higher level (3cm)
than the bottom of the guiding cut (B).
8. When you have cut a quarter of the tree, stop the
tool and introduce a felling wedge (A) in order to
avoid the tree leaning backwards and trapping
the tool or causing the tree to fall in an unwanted
direction.
9. Continue with the felling cut (C) until you are within
3 cm of the guiding cut. This part of the wood is
left uncut, so it can act as a hinge and direct the
trunk towards the desired place.
10.The tree will fall in the direction of the guiding
cut “E”.
If it does not fall, use the wedge in order to force the
tree to fall.
As soon as the tree starts to fall, back away diagonally
from the tree, in order to be at a safe distance when
the tree touches the ground. It is important to keep
away because when it touches the ground, you could
be hurt by branches and splinters flying around or by
roots from the ground.
