Notch

In order to make a notch, start with the cut of upper notch. Using bottom part of guide make a

cut within the 45° inclination in the right angle to the direction of planned fall.

Then make a lower notch so that it meets exactly the lower side of the upper notch.

Notch height should be approx.1/4 of tree diameter in the 45° angle.

The line of inner notch angle must be horizontal, namely exactly in the right angle to fall

direction.

Main („felling“) cut

Felling cut is made from the rear part of tree and must also be horizontal.

Position yourself so that you have the tree at your left hand and make a cut with the lower part

of guide (chain pulling).

Place the main cut approx. 3-5 cm (1½ - 2“) above the lower notch.

Make the cut while the saw runs at maximum revolutions. Slowly penetrate to the tree with

the saw. Pay attention to tree movement in the opposite direction than your required fall

direction. Insert a wedge or felling insert to the main cut once cut depth allows that.

After the cut is completed, the main cut has to be parallel with the notch and at the same time

a wood slice, so called remaining cut, with the minimum width of 1/10 of tree diameter must

be left.

The purpose of remaining cut is to serve as a piece securing required fall direction.

If a remaining cut is too small or was split or the notch and main cut did not meet, tree fall

direction is out of control.

If the main cut and notch correspond, the tree starts falling on its own or using the wedge or

felling insert.
