First, cut a large, wide felling notch.
2
Make a plunge cut in the centre of the
notch.

The plunge cut is made with the guide
bar nose. Begin the plunge cut by
applying the lower portion of the guide
bar nose to the tree at an angle. Cut until
the depth of the kerf is about the same
as the width of the guide bar. Next, align
the saw in the direction in which the
recess is to be cut.
Felling cut for large diameter trees:
Avoid repositioning the saw more than
necessary. When repositioning for the
next cut, keep the guide bar fully
!
Warning!
With the saw at full throttle, insert the
guide bar in the trunk.
Felling a tree that has a diameter greater
than the length of the guide bar requires
use of either the sectioning felling cut or
plunge-cut method. These methods are
extremely dangerous because they
involve the use of the nose of the guide
bar and can result in kickback. Only
properly trained professionals should
attempt these techniques.
engaged in the kerf to keep the felling
cut straight. If the saw begins to pinch,
insert a wedge to open the cut. On the
last cut, do not cut the hinge.
Enlarge the plunge cut as shown in the
illustration.
!Warning!
Plunge-cut method
There is an extreme danger of kickback
at this point. Extra caution must be taken
to maintain control of the saw. To make
the felling cut, follow the sectioning
method described previously.
Timber having a diameter more than
twice the length of the guide bar requires
the use of the plunge-cut method before
making the felling cut.
Sectioning method
For the sectioning method make the first
part of the felling cut with the guide bar
fanning in toward the hinge. Then, using
the bumper spike as a pivot, reposition
the saw for the next cut.
