SAfter removing the wood from the notch,

make the felling cut on the opposite side of

thenotch. This is done by mak ing a cut about

two inches higher than the center of the

notch. This will leave enough uncut wood

between the felling cut and the notch to form

ahinge. This hinge will help prevent the tree

from falling in the wrong direction.

NOTE:Before felling cut is complete, use

wedges to open the cut when necessary to

controlthe direction of fall. Toavoid kickback

or chain damage, use wood or plastic

wedges, but never steel or iron wedges.

SBe alert to signs that the tree is ready to fall:

cracking sounds, widening of the felling cut,

or movement in the upper branches.

SAstree st arts to fall, stop saw, put it down,

andget away quickly on your planned re-

treat path.

SDO NOT cut down a partially falle n tree with

your saw. Be extremely cautio us with par-

tially fallen trees that may be poorly sup-

ported. When a tr ee doesn’t fall completely,

setthe s aw aside and pull down the tree with

a cable winch, block and tackle, or tractor.
