[. . . ] On average, a single filling will last around 15 minutes depending on the number of pauses in cutting and the loads involved. Saw chain Tension of the saw chain, condition of the cutting elements. This prevents the saw chain or the guide rail from becoming trapped when the second felling notch is made. 17) The felling cut should be positioned at least 50 mm above the horizontal felling notch. The felling cut should be cut to a depth which leaves a thin strip (felling hinge strip) (D) which can act as a hinge. This strip prevents the tree from rotating and falling in the wrong direction. When the felling cut gets close to the strip the tree should start to fall. If it becomes clear that the tree may well fall in a different direction to the desired fall direction (C) or it starts to lean back and traps the saw chain, interrupt the felling cut and insert wedges made of wood, plastic or aluminum to open out the cut and control the lean of the tree until it leans in the required direction. When the tree starts to fall, remove the chainsaw from the cut, switch it off, place it on the ground and exit the danger zone via the planned escape route. Removing branches Here we are talking about removing branches from the felled tree. When removing branches, leave any downward facing branches which are supporting the tree until the trunk of the tree has been cut up. 18 (A= cutting direction when removing branches, B= keep away from the ground!Supporting branches should be left until the trunk is cut up) in a single cut from the bottom to the top. Any branches which are under tension should be cut from the bottom to the top to prevent the saw from becoming trapped. Cutting the tree trunk into lengths Here we are looking at the process of cutting the felled tree into sections. Make sure you have a sure footing and distribute your body weight evenly onto both feet. If possible the trunk should be underlaid and supported with branches, beams or wedges. if the full length of the tree trunk is evenly supported as shown in Fig. 20 If the weight of the tree trunk is resting on one end as shown in Fig. 20, first cut through 1/3 of the trunk diameter from the underside (A) in order to prevent it from splintering. Caution: Make sure that the chain tension is always correctly adjusted. Only work with a saw chain that has been Never operate the saw above shoulder height.
