Homelite UT10942D manual Hinge Back CUT Wedge

OPERATION

Note: Never cut through to the notch. Always leave a band of wood between the notch and back cut (approxi- mately 2 inches (5 cm) or 1/10 the diameter of the tree). This is called "hinge" or "hingewood". It controls the fall of the tree and prevents slipping or twisting or shoot- back of the tree off the stump.

On large diameter trees, stop the back cut before it is deep enough for the tree to either fall or settle back on the stump. Then insert soft wooden or plastic wedges into the cut so they do not touch the chain. Drive wedges in, little by little, to help jack the tree over.

When bucking or felling with a wedge, it may be necessary to remove the SAFE-T-TIP®anti-kickback device to allow the bar to be drawn through the cut. After you complete the cut, reinstall the tip immediately.

5.As tree starts to fall, stop the chain saw and put it down immediately. Retreat along the cleared path, but watch the action in case something falls your way.

WARNING:

Never cut through to the notch when making a back cut. The hinge controls the fall of the tree, this is the section of wood between the notch and backcut.
