Begin   cutting   with  the   saw   frame
against the log.
(6
inches in diameter or larger)
Keep the engine at full speed the entire
time you are cutting.
The notch method is used to fell large trees.
A notch is cut on the side of the tree in the de-
sired direction  of  fall.   After a felling  cut  is
made on the  opposite side  of tree, the tree
will tend to fall into  the notch.
NOTE: If the tree has large  buttress roots,
remove them before making the notch. If us-
ing saw to remove buttress roots, keep saw
chain from contacting ground to prevent dull-
ing of the chain.
Allow the chain to cut for you. Exert only
light downward pressure.   If you force
the cut, damage to the bar,chain, oren-
gine can result.

Release the throttle  trigger as soon as
the cut  is completed,  allowing the en-
gine to idle.   If you  run the saw  at full
throttle without a cutting load, unneces-
sary wear can occur to  the chain, bar,
and engine.
NOTCH CUT AND FELLING THE
Toavoid losing control when cut is com-
plete, do not put pressure on saw at end
of cut.
TREE
S  Make notch cut  by cutting  the top  of the
notch first. Cut through 1/3 of the diameter
of the tree. Next complete the notch bycut-
ting the  bottom of the notch.  See illustra-
tion.  Once  the notch  is  cut  remove the
notch of wood from the tree.
S  Stop the  engine  before  setting  the  saw
down after cutting.

dead  branches which  can  fall  while cutting
causing serious injury.  Do not cut near build-
ings or electrical wires if you do not know the
direction of tree fall, nor cut at night since you
will  not be  ale  to see  well,  nor during  bad
weather such as rain, snow, or  strong winds,
etc.
First cut
Notch
S  Carefully plan your sawing operation in ad-
vance.
S  Clear the workarea. You need a clear area
all around the tree so you can have secure
footing.
Second cut
Hinge
S  Study the natural conditions that can cause
the tree to fall in a particular direction.
Natural conditions  that can  cause a tree to
fall in a particular direction  include:
S  The wind direction and speed.
S
After removing  the cutout of  wood, make
the felling  cut on the opposite  side of the
notch. This is done by making a cut about
two inches  higher than  the center  of the
notch.  This will leave enough uncut wood
between  the felling  cut and  the notch  to
form a hinge.  This hinge will help prevent
the tree from falling in the wrong direction.
S  The lean of  the tree.   The lean  of a  tree
might not  be apparent  due  to uneven  or
sloping terrain. Use a plumb or level to de-
termine the direction of  tree lean.
S  Weight and branches on one side.
S  Surrounding trees and obstacles.
Look for decay and rot. If the trunk is rotted, it
can snap and fall toward the operator. Check
for broken or dead branches which can fall on
you while cutting.

Opening
of felling
cut
Make sure there is enough room for the tree to
fall.  Maintain a  distance of 2-1/2 tree  lengths
from the nearest person or other objects. En-
gine noise can drown out a warning call.
Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples,
and wire from  the tree where cuts  are to be
made.
Closing of
notch
Plan a clear retreat path to the rear and diag-
onal to the line of fall.
NOTE: Before felling  cut is  complete, use
wedges to open  the cut when necessary to
control the direction of fall. To avoid kickback
and  chain  damage,  use   wood  or  plastic
wedges, but never steel or iron wedges.
S
Plan a clear retreat path
Be alert to signs that the tree is ready to fall:
Direction of Fall
cracking sounds, widening of the felling cut,
or movement in the upper branches.
S  As tree starts to fall, stop saw, put it down,
and get away quickly on your planned  re-
treat path.
