Begin 1 to 2 inches (2,5 to 5 cm)
higher than center of felling notch.
Do not cut through the hinge – you
could lose control of the direction of
the fall.
Cut horizontally towards the felling
notch.
Cut to no more than width of guide
bar.
Leave approx.1/10 of diameter
uncut. This is the hinge.
This is especially important in softwood
in summer – it helps prevent sapwood
splintering when the tree falls.
Do not cut through the hinge – you
could lose control of the direction of
the fall.
Drive wedges into the felling cut where
necessary to control the fall.
Warning!
If the tip of the bar contacts a wedge, it
may cause kickback. Wedges should be
of wood or plastic – never steel, which
can damage the chain.
