WORKING TECHNIQUES
Next make the bottom cut so that it finishes exactly at the end
The felling hinge controls the direction that the tree falls in.
of the top cut.
All control over the felling direction is lost if the felling hinge is
too narrow or non-existent, or if the directional cuts and felling
cut are badly placed.
The directional cuts should run 1/4 of the diameter through
the trunk and the angle between the top cut and bottom cut
should be 45°.
When the felling cut and directional cut are complete the tree
should start to fall by itself or with the aid of a felling wedge or
breaking bar.
The line where the two cuts meet is called the directional cut
line. This line should be perfectly horizontal and at right
angles (90°) to the chosen felling direction.
Felling cut
We recommend that you use a bar that is longer than the
diameter of the tree, so that you can make the felling cut and
directional cuts with single cutting strokes. See instructions
under the heading Technical data section to find out which
lengths of bar are recommended for your saw.
The felling cut is made from the opposite side of the tree and
it must be perfectly horizontal. Stand on the left side of the
tree and cut on the pull stroke.
Make the felling cut about 1.5-2 inches (3-5 cm) above the
bottom directional cut.
There are methods for felling trees with a diameter larger 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.
Finish the felling cut parallel with the directional cut line so that
the distance between them is at least 1/10 of the trunk
diameter. The uncut section of the trunk is called the felling
hinge.
