To fell a tree
You use three cuts to fell a tree. These are the
directional cuts, which include the top cut and the
bottom cut, and the felling cut. If you make these cuts
correctly, you can control the felling direction very
accurately.
WARNING: Do not fell trees with a diameter
larger than the bar length of your product,
unless you have special training! This
includes a much larger risk that the kickback
zone of the guide bar touches the tree.
To make the directional cuts
1. Make the directional cuts. Run the directional cuts
1/4 of the diameter of the tree. Make a 45° angle
between the top cut and bottom cut.
a) Make the top cut first. Align the felling direction
mark (A) of the product with the felling direction
of the tree (B). Stay behind the product and keep
the tree on your right side. Cut with a pull stroke.
b) Make the bottom cut. Make sure that the end of
the bottom cut is at the same point as the end of
the top cut.

2. Make sure that the directional cut line is perfectly
horizontal and at right angles (90°) to the felling
direction. The directional cut line goes through the
point where the two directional cuts touch.
To make the felling cut
1. Switch to the left side of the tree. The felling cut is
made on the opposite side of the tree.
2. Make the felling cut approximately 3-5 cm/1.5-2 in
above the bottom directional cuts. The cut must be
perfectly horizontal.
3. Cut on the pull stroke, use full power and forward the
saw chain/guide bar slowly into the tree. Make sure
that the tree does not fall in an unwanted direction.
4. Operate a wedge or breaking bar into the cut when
the cut has accurate depth.
