higher than the notching cut as illustrated in Fig 14. Keep the felling back cut parallel to the

horizontal notching cut. Make the felling back cut so enough wood is left to act as a hinge.

The hinge wood keeps the tree from twisting and falling in the wrong direction. Do not cut

through the hinge.

As the felling gets close to the hinge, the tree should begin to fall. The position of the notch

cut will help to determine the direction of fall.If there is any chance that the tree may not

fall in desired direction or it may rock back and bind the saw chain, stop cutting before the

felling back cut is complete and use wedges of wood, plastic or aluminum to open the cut

and drop the tree along the desired line of fall.

When the tree begins to fall remove the chain saw from the cut, stop the motor, put the

chain saw down, and then use the retreat path planned. Be alert for overhead limbs falling

and watch your footing.

Felling is the process of cutting down a tree. Make sure your f

apart, and divide your weight evenly on both feet. Follow directions below to fell a tree.

Limbing a tree

Limbing is the removal of the branches from a fallen tree. When limbing leave larger lower

limbs to support the log off the ground. Remove the small limbs in one cut as illustrated in.

Branches under tension should be cut from the bottom up to avoid binding the chain saw.

Keep work off ground leave support limbs until log is cut
