1
Decide the felling direction considering the wind, lean of the tree,
location of heavy branches, ease of job after felling, and other factors.
2
While clearing the area around the tree, arrange a good foothold and
retreat path.
3
Make a notch cut one-third of the way into the tree on the felling side.
4
Make a felling cut from the opposite side of the notch and at a level
slightly higher than the bottom of the notch.
WARNING!
When you fell a tree, be sure to warn your neighboring workers
of the danger.

Logging and limbing
WARNING!
1
Always ensure your foothold as well as stability of the tree.
2
Be alert to the rolling over of a cut log.
3
Read the instructions in "For Safe Operation" to avoid kick-
back of the saw. Before starting work, check the direction of
bending force inside the log to be cut. Always finish cutting
from the opposite side of bending direction to prevent the
guide bar from being caught in the cutaway.
Cutting an unpillowed log
Saw down halfway, then roll the log over and cut from the opposite side.
Cutting a pillowed log
In the area A in the picture right above, saw up from the bottom one-
third and finish by sawing down from the top. In the area B, saw down
from the top one-third and finish by sawing up from the bottom.
Limbing a felled tree
First check which way the limb is bent. Then make a shallow cut into
the compressed side to prevent the limb from being torn. Cut through
from the tensed side.
WARNING!
Be alert to the spring back of a cut limb.
