cutting down area

When felling, maintain a distance of at least

1/2

tree

lengths from the nearest person (see fig.

17).

Note:

The noise of your engine may drown any waming call.

Felling instructions:

First clear the tree base and work area from inter-

fering limbs and brush and clean its lower portion an

axe (see fig.

18).

\I/r

Then, establish a path of escape and remove all

obstacles. This path should be opposite to the planned

direction of the fall of the tree and at a

45"

angle (fig.

19).

An alternate path must also be selected. Place all

tools and equipment a safe distance away from the

tree, but not on the escape path.

the tree has large buttress roots, cut into the largest

buttresses vertically first (horizontally next) and re-

move (fig.

Then, determine the placement of the felling notch

(fig.

21).

The felling notch when properly placed de-

termines the direction in which the tree will fall. It

made perpendicular to the line of fall and should be as

close to the ground as possible. Cut the felling notch

to a depth of about one-fifth to one-fourth of the trunk

diameter (fig.

22).

It should be in no case higher than

it is deep. Make the felling notch very carefully.
