the tree to ensure an easy es-
cape. The escape area (1) should
be around 45° either side behind
the planned felling direction (2).
Q 3. Cutting notch (A):
Make a felling notch in the direc-
tion in which you wish the tree to
fall. Start with the bottom, hori-
zontal cut. The cut depth should
be around 1/3 of the trunk diam-
eter. 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.
Q
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
log not sawed through is desig-
nated as a break dimension.
R
Insert a felling wedge or a crow-
bar into the back cut, as soon as
the depth of cut permits this, in
order to prevent a jamming of the
chain bar.
S
5. If the trunk diameter is larger than
the length of the chain bar, make
two cuts.
For safety reasons, we ad-
vise inexperienced users not
to fell any logs with a rail
length which is smaller than
the trunk diameter.
6. 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 electric chainsaw down
and leave the workplace us-
ing the withdrawal path.
