Six steps to felling a tree correctly

When felling trees, it is essential to use proper work techniques, not only to create a safe working environment, but also to increase work efficiency.

1. Preliminary planning

When it comes to felling tree services with a chainsaw, preparation is key. By planning the logging and the forestry equipment you are going to bring, not only are you making the workday safer, but you are also making post-logging work much easier. First, ask yourself if there are any major obstacles in the area, such as power lines, roads, or buildings. Distribute warning signs if you know that there is a road through the forest area or that there are many people passing through that area on a daily basis.

2. Check the direction of fall

Next, determine the direction of fall by carefully studying the tree. What do the branches look like and how do they grow? Also take into account the direction of the wind. If you are unclear about the tree's natural fall direction, stay away from it and check it with a plumb line (see the data chart for information). Clear the area around the tree's intended fall direction. Also clear a 45-degree zone behind the tree in both directions to create an escape route.

3. Prune the trunk

When you have cleared the area, post the warning signs in the direction of the fall of the tree services and the escape route you have decided on. You must check that you have enough fuel in the tank for the task ahead. Then it will be time to prune the trunk to get rid of all the large and small branches that can get in the way when making the felling cut. The safest way to prune is to do it with a pull chain (under the bar) from the top down.

4. Decide on the cutting technique

Once the trunk has been pruned to shoulder height, it is time to make the felling cut. When doing so, it is important to remember two things: the hinge must be of uniform thickness with proper dimensions and the knockdown wedge or ripper bar must be inserted before the tree can engage the bar. The cutting technique to use will depend on the size of the tree and the slope, as well as the size of the chainsaw. Here we have compiled information about the different techniques, so that you can find for yourself the method that best suits your conditions. / insert link to proper passage in "working with chainsaws" 

5. Check the tree for diseases

If you notice that the wood is discolored and soft or if the lower part of the trunk appears swollen or diseased, you should be very careful. This indicates that the tree is rotten and the fibers of the wood are weakened. If this happens, log in the direction of the tree's natural fall and use a winch if you are unsure. Rot normally decreases the higher up the tree, so one option would be to knock it down leaving a taller than normal stump.

6. Choose the tool

You can choose from several felling tools when felling a tree. The size of the tree determines the type of forestry equipment needed. For smaller trees, felling tools are not usually necessary. The manual force is sufficient, perhaps with the help of a long bar. The knockdown wedge offers greater knockdown force than the different types of ripper bars. In extreme cases, you can use a rope and winch, which are the safest and most powerful way to knock down a tree services .
