Escape path
Buttress roots
Gunning sight
First clear the tree base and work area
from interfering limbs and brush and
clean its lower portion with an ax.
If the tree has large buttress roots, cut
into the largest buttress vertically first
(horizontally next) and remove the
resulting piece.
When making the felling notch, use the
gunning sight on the shroud and housing
to check the required direction of fall:
Then, establish two paths of escape (B)
and remove all obstacles. These paths
should be generally opposite to the
planned direction of the fall of the tree
(A) and about at a 45° angle. Place all
tools and equipment a safe distance
away from the tree, but not on the
escape paths.
:
Position the saw so that the gunning
sight points exactly in the direction
you want the tree to fall.
