Escape path
Conventional cut
First clear the tree base and work area
from interfering limbs and brush and
clean its lower portion with an ax.
C = felling notch - determines the
direction of the fall
For a conventional cut:
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.
:
Properly place felling notch
perpendicular to the line of fall,
close to the ground.
Cut down at app. 45-degree angle
to a depth of about 1/5 to 1/4 of the
trunk diameter.
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.
:
:
Make second cut horizontal.
Remove resulting 45-degree piece.
