Before beginning the felling work, make sure
that:
• there are no people or animals in the fell-
ing area of the tree.
• there is an obstacle-free escape route for
each participant. A retreat occurs diago-
nally counter to the felling direction.
• the area around the trunk is free of obsta-
cles (risk of stumbling!).
• the next workplace is at least two and a
half tree lengths away. Before felling, the
felling direction of the tree must be
checked and it must be ensured that there
are no objects, people or animals in a dis-
tance of 2 ½ tree lengths.

The felling of a tree occurs in two steps:
1. Notch the trunk by approximately one-
third of its diameter on the felling direction
side.
2. On the other side, make the felling cut,
which must be somewhat higher than the
felling notch (approx. 5 cm).
DANGER! Risk of injury! Never
saw the tree trunk completely
through. The area serves as a "hinge"
and ensures a defined felling direc-
tion.
DANGER! Risk of injury! When fell-
ing, stand only to the side of the tree
to be felled! There is a risk of fatal
injuries!

– Cut into the trunk halfway, then turn over

Propped-up trunks
We recommend that you place trunks to be
45°
sawed through on sawhorses. If this is not
possible, the trunk should be lifted with the
B
help of supporting branches and placed over
trestles.
In area A, first cut through approximately one
third of the trunk diameter from above down-
wards, then make the final cut from below
upwards. In area B, first cut through approxi-
mately one third of the trunk diameter from
below upwards, then saw through from
above.
Removing branches
• Always work on the side opposite the
• Begin at the bottom of the trunk and work
• Always guide the saw from above down-
When removing the branches from trunks
which are lying down, first saw off the free
branches sticking up in the air. Only saw off
supporting branches when the trunk is sawed
in lengths.
Cleaning and maintenance
