degrees away from the intended felling direction.

Felling
WARNING! Unless you have special
!
training we advise you not to fell trees
with a diameter larger than the bar length
of your saw!
Felling is done using three cuts. First you make the
directional cuts, which consist of the top cut and the
bottom cut, then you finish with the felling cut. By placing
these cuts correctly you can control the felling direction
very accurately.
Directional cuts
To make the directional cut you begin with the top cut. Aim
using to the saw's felling direction mark (1) toward a goal
further forward in the terrain, where you would like the tree
to fall (2). Stand on the right-hand side of the tree, behind
the saw, and cut with a pull stroke.

Next make the bottom cut so that it finishes exactly at the
end of the top cut.
WORKING TECHNIQUES

The directional cuts should run 1/4 of the diameter
through the trunk and the angle between the top cut and
bottom cut should be 60° - 70°.
The line where the two cuts meet is called the directional
cut line. This line should be perfectly horizontal and at
right angles (90°) to the chosen felling direction.
Felling cut
The felling cut is made from the opposite side of the trunk
and it must be perfectly horizontal. Try to take a correct
position so you are able to cut on the pull stroke.
Make the felling cut about 0-1.5 inches (0-3 cm) above the
bottom directional cut.
Use full throttle and bring the bar and chain slowly into the
tree. Make sure the tree does not start to move in the
opposite direction to your intended felling direction. Drive
a wedge or breaking bar into the cut as soon as it is deep
enough.
Finish the felling cut parallel with the directional cut line so
that the distance between them is at least 1/10 of the
trunk diameter. The uncut section of the trunk is called the
felling hinge.
