WORKING TECHNIQUES
All control over the felling direction is lost if the felling
Never try to fell the tree that is trapped.
hinge is too narrow or non-existent, or if the directional
cuts and felling cut are badly placed.
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.
Never work in the risk zone of the hanging trapped tree.
The safest method is to use a winch.
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.

Cutting trees and branches that are in tension
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.
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).
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.
Freeing a tree that has fallen badly
Freeing a ”trapped tree”
General advice:
It is very dangerous to remove a trapped tree and there is
high accident risk.
Position yourself so that you will be clear of the tree or
branch when the tension is released.
