WORKING TECHNIQUES
There are methods for felling trees with a diameter larger
General advice:
than the bar length. However these methods involve a
much greater risk that the kickback zone of the bar will
come into contact with the tree.
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. Make 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.
Freeing a tree that has fallen badly
Freeing a ”trapped tree”
It is very dangerous to remove a trapped tree and there is
high accident risk.
Never cut straight through a tree or branch that is in
tension!
Never try to fell the tree that is trapped.
If you must cut across tree/limb, make two to three cuts,
one inch apart, one to two inches deep.
Never work in the risk zone of the hanging trapped tree.
Continue to cut deeper until tree/limb bends and tension
is released.
The safest method is to use a winch.
Tractor-mounted
Cut tree/limb from outside the bend, after tension has
been released.
How to avoid kickback
Portable

saw, bar and chain back at the user. If
this happens when the chain is moving it
can cause very serious, even fatal
injuries. It is vital you understand what
causes kickback and that you can avoid
it by taking care and using the right
working technique.
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).
What is kickback?
The word kickback is used to describe the sudden
reaction that causes the chain saw and bar to jump off an
object when the upper quadrant of the tip of the bar,
known as the kickback zone, touches an object.
Decide which is the safest way to release the tension and
whether you are able to do it safely. In complicated
situations the only safe method is to put aside your chain
saw and use a winch.
