OPERATION

WARNING:

Do not cut trees or branches near buildings, which may result in serious injuries or property damage.

WARNING:

Check the tree for damaged or dead branches that could fall and hit you during felling.

WARNING:

Periodically glance at the top of the tree during the backcut to assure the tree is going to fall in the desired direction.

The chain saw operator should keep on the uphill side of the terrain as the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill after it is felled.

Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples, and wire from the tree where felling cuts are to be made.

Notched Undercut. Cut a notch about 1/3 the diameter of the tree, perpendicular to the direc- tion of fall. Make the cuts of the notch so they intersect at a right angle to the line of fall. This notch should be cleaned out to leave a straight line. To keep the weight of the wood off the saw, always make the lower cut of the notch before the upper cut. See Figure 13.
