3. Make the lower horizontal notch cut. This will
prevent either the saw chain or the guide bar
from being pinched when the second notch is
made.
4. Make the felling back cut (X) at least 50 mm (2
in) higher than the horizontal notching cut. Keep
the felling back cut parallel to the horizontal
notching cut so enough wood is left to act as a
hinge. Do not cut through the hinge. The hinge
wood keeps the tree from twisting and falling in
the wrong direction.

5. As the felling back cut nears the hinge, the tree
starts to fall. Make sure that the tree can fall in
the correct direction and not rock rearward and
pinch the saw chain. Stop the cut before the
felling back cut is complete to prevent this. Use
wedges of wood, plastic or aluminium to open
the cut and let the tree fall along the necessary
line of fall.

6. When the tree begins to fall, remove the product
from the cut, stop the engine, put the product
down, then use the retreat path planned. Be alert
for overhead limbs falling and watch your footing.
To limb a tree
1. Use larger limbs to hold the log off the ground.
2. Remove small limbs in one cut.
3. Cut branches that have tension from the bottom
to the top to prevent pinching the saw chain or
the guide bar.
To buck a log
CAUTION: Do not let the saw chain
touch the ground.
•
If the log is supported along its entire length, cut
from the top of the log (known as overbucking).
