Cutting down a tree
Danger of injury!
Felling and delimbing work may only be carried out by trained persons! There is a risk of life-
threatening injuries!
Before starting felling work, ensure that no uninvolved persons or animals are present in the fall area
(A) of the tree.
An unobstructed escape route is necessary for everyone involved. A retraction (B) is made diagonally
opposite to the direction of fall. The area around the log must be kept free of obstacles (danger of
tripping!). The next workstation must be at least 2½ tree lengths away. Before felling, the direction of
fall of the tree must be checked and it must be ensured that there are no objects, other persons or
animals within a distance of 2½ tree lengths (see following figure).
The felling of a tree takes
- notch the log by about one
direction side (1.).
- make the felling cut (2.) on
be slightly higher than the
Drop notch (approx. 3-5
Never saw through the log completely. The area (C) serves as a hinge and ensures a defined direction
of fall. When felling, stand only to the side of the tree to be felled! There is a risk of life-threatening
injuries (see following illustration)!
Working on logs lying flat on the ground
Cut the log in half, then turn it over and saw through from the opposite side. Make sure that the saw-
bar does not touch the ground when sawing through the log (see following illustration)!
