Husqvarna 316 Electric Chainsaw Owners Manual

FELLING OPERATIONS
CAUTION!
Felling a tree is a job which  calls for experience. Do not attempt to fell trees if you  are
inexperienced. DO NOT CARRY OUT ANY OPERATIONS FOR WHICH YOU DO NOT
FEEL QUALIFIED!
CAUTION!
Beginning chain saw operators should gain experience  cutting logs on a sawhorse or
similar arrangement.
CAUTION!
We advise operators without sufficient experience against  felling trees with trunk
diameters exceeding their guide bar length.
Danger zone
A danger zone surrounds the tree to  a distance of 2 1/2 times the height of the  tree.
See to it that no one is  standing within this zone while you are felling the tree.
Felling direction
When felling a tree, one always aims  to place it where neither objects nor difficult terrain will  hamper limbing
and cutting. Unobstructed movement and secure footing are  essential.
It is also important to  avoid lodging the tree against another tree. A lodged tree is extremely  dangerous.
After determining where you want the  tree to fall, you must also consider the likely unaided  direction of fall.
This is affected by the straightness and  lean of the tree, wind direction, concentration of branches and  any
snow that may weigh the tree down.
After assessing all these factors, you may  find you have no choice but to fell the tree  in its natural direction
of fall because your preferred direction of  fall is likely to fail.
Another important factor affecting your  personal safety, though it has no bearing on the direction  of fall,
is the presence of any dead branches  which could fall while you are felling the tree.
Planned Direction of fall
Clearing branches/Line of retreat
Danger zone
Remove any branches from around the base  of the tree which may interfere
with your work. It is safest to work  from the top down and to keep the tree
trunk between you and the running  chain. Never cut branches above shoulder
height. Clear undergrowth around the tree and identify your  line of retreat or
escape, taking note of any obstructions  (stones, branches, holes, etc.).Your
line of retreat should be at an  angle, around 135° behind the direction of fall.
