WARNING: Some dust created by

power sanding, sawing, grinding, drill- ing, and other construction activities

contains chemicals known (to thestate of California) to cause cancer, birth

defects, or other reproductive harm° Some examples of these chemicals

are: ° lead from lead-based paints

• arsenic and chromium from chemi- cally-treated lumber

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type ofwork. To reduce your exposure

tothese chemicals: work in a wellven- tilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust

masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

KICKBACK

_u_ WARNING: Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar

touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain

in the cut. Tip contact in some cases may cause a lightning fast reverse

reaction, kicking the guide bar up and

backtowardstheoperator. Pinchingthe saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly

back towards the operator, Either of

these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw which could result

in serious injury to user.

to avoid risk of kickback.

• Do not fell a tree without ample skill

or expert helpo

• Keepchildren, animals, and bystand= ers away from area when felling a tree.

• if two or more persons perform

bucking and felling operations at

the same time, provide ample dis- tance between operations. Provide

distance of at least twice the height

of tree being felled_

WARNING: When felling a tree, be

aware of your surroundings. Do not endanger any person, strike utility

lines, or cause property damage. If tree strikes utility lines, contact utility

company at once.

Felling is _he process of cutting down a tree Make sure your footing is firm Keep feet apart. Divide

your weight even|y on bmh feet Follow directions below to fetl a tree

Before Felling a Tree

i Before felling, inspect tree Make sure there

are no dead limbs or branches that may fall on you Study natural lean of tree, location of larger branches, and wind directkm This will

help you judge which way tree wilt fall

Felling Procedure

A) Felling Notch

A pmperIy placed felling notch will determine direction tree _ill fall Pbace felling notch on

side of tree in direction you v,ant tree to fall (see Figure 14) Follow directions betow to create a

felling notch

l Make lower notch cut as close to ground as

possible Hold saw so guide bar is horizontal Cut 113 the diameter of tree trunk (see Figure

14).Note:' Always make _his horizontal lovmr

notch cut first. If' you make this cut second, tree can pinch chain or guide bar

2 Start upper notch cut the same distance above

first cut as first cut is deep

Example: If'tower notch cut isei_lt inches deep.

start upper notch cut eight inches above it. Cut downward at 45 _ angle The upper notch cut

should meet end of lower notch cut (see Figure

14)

3 Remove tree trunk wedge created by notching

culs.

WARNING: Do not cut all the way

through tree. Leave abouttwo inches oftreediameter uncut directly behind
