WORKING TECHNIQUES
Freeing a tree that has fallen badly
General advice:
Position yourself so that you will be clear of the tree or
branch when the tension is released.
Freeing a ”trapped tree”
It is very dangerous to remove a trapped tree and there is
high accident risk.
Never try to fell the tree that is trapped.
Never work in the risk zone of the hanging trapped tree.
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.
Never cut straight through a tree or branch that is in
tension!
If you must cut across tree/limb, make two to three cuts,
one inch apart, one to two inches deep.
The safest method is to use a winch.
•
Tractor-mounted
Continue to cut deeper until tree/limb bends and tension
is released.
•
Portable
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).
Cut tree/limb from outside the bend, after tension has
been released.
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.
