Limb A Tree; Buck A Log - GreenWorks 1403402 Manuel D'utilisation

EN
The level notching cut helps prevent pinching of
the saw chain or the guide bar when you make the
second notch.
2. Make the felling cut no less than 50 mm and higher
than the level notching cut. Make sure that this cut
a) Is parallel to the level notching cut.
b) Keeps sufficient wood to become a hinge (29)
which prevents the tree from twisting and felling
in the wrong direction.
When the felling cut (28) gets near the hinge (29),
the tree falls. Stop the felling cut if the tree
• Does not fall in the correct direction or
• Moves backwards, causing the cutting bar and
chain to become stuck in the cut.
3. Use felling wedge to open the cut and let the tree
fall in the correct direction.
4. When the tree starts to fall,
a) Remove the chainsaw from the cut.
b) Stop the machine.
c) Put the machine down.
d) Move away from the tree via the escape path
(25). Always keep watching the tree to see it's
direction of fall, be careful with overhead
branches and your footing.
