Felling Cut - Trunk Diameter More than Twice Guide Bar Length.
1.Cut a large, wide notch.
2.Cut a recess into center of notch.
IMPORTANT!
Always leave a hinge on both sides of center cut.
3.Saw around trunk with a pulling chain to complete felling.
Felling Leaning Trees
CAUTION!
Excessively leaning trees are under tension and may split easely, causing root end to rise up or be thrown rearwards.
1.Make two notches.The tip formed where the notches meet should point toward the felling direction.
2.Make the felling cut straight from behind, a bit at a time.
This method will slow the fall of the tree and allow you to get clear.
