A
When felling, maintain a distance of at
least 2 1/2 tree lengths from the nearest
person.
If the tree has large buttress roots, cut
into the largest buttress vertically first
(horizontally next) and remove the
resulting piece.
When felling in the vicinity of roads,
railways and power lines, etc., take extra
precautions. Inform the police, utility
company or railway authority before
beginning to cut.
Gunning Sight
B
First clear the tree base and work area
from interfering limbs and brush and
clean its lower portion with an ax.
Warning!
The noise of your engine may drown
any warning call.
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.
When making the felling notch, use the
gunning sight on the shroud and housing
to check the desired direction of fall:
Position the saw so that the gunning
sight points exactly in the direction you
want the tree to fall.
