Page 9: Function
In case of an error, the LED flashes continuously. 4.2 Function The TR300 is a tool that should only be used in tree felling operations. The TR300 is inserted into the back cut of the tree being felled. The serrations on the steel plates must be in contact with wood fibre (not bark encasement). -
Page 10: Operation
If the remote-controlled felling wedge TR300 shows any defects, it must not be used! Carry out a function check by fully extending and retracting the TR300 felling wedge. Check that the front and rear end stops are reached. Keep two replacement batteries (type AAA) in a suitable place for the remote control. -
Page 11: Transport To The Job Site
Use the provided shoulder strap to carry the TR300 to the felling face. The TR300 wedge can also be carried by holding on to one of the guide bars, or the rear handle. Avoid disturbing the remote control aerial mounted on the rear end of the motor unit when carrying the wedge in this fashion. -
Page 12: Prepare The Tree
1.Cut 3.Cut Determine where the TR300 should be inserted in the back cut and trim the bark off the stem at this point. Ensure that there is enough distance between the outer edge of the tree and the hinge for the wedge to fully extend. -
Page 13: Apply Safe Felling Techniques
Once the scarf cuts have been made, use the quarter cut technique to do the first part of the back cut. This can be done by standing to the side of the tree and, using a pushing chain, Operating Manual Remote-controlled Felling Wedge TR300... - Page 14 An alternative method (as shown in the photographs) is to use the split level back cut and place both the plastic wedge and the TR300 in the first part of the back cut. This technique requires the first part of the back cut to be made wider to enable both the plastic wedge and the TR300 to be inserted side by side.

Page 15: Inserting The Remote-Controlled Felling Wedge
5.7 Inserting the remote-controlled felling wedge To insert the TR300, cut a sloping groove in the back cut to allow the wedge to be pushed in to a minimum depth of 7cm (up to the serrations on the lifting plates). Expand the opening of the groove to 2 - 3 cm and ensure there are no lips or steps in it. -
Page 16: Affix Fall Protection
5.8 Affix fall protection If there is a risk of the TR300 going with the falling tree (for example, on steep terrain), use a hammer to hit the piton (the small steel spike attached to the head of the wedge on a cord) in to the stump (below the back cut). -
Page 17: Safety Distance
Press the “Forward” button to start the felling and watch the wedge to ensure it is lifting the tree. Note: The TR300 has a power function that automatically kicks in as the load on the lifting plates increases. When the TR300 goes in to power mode, the spindle speed decreases and the motor unit makes a “rat a tat, tat”... -
Page 18: Extending The Lift Of The Tr300
Use the button on the motor unit to set the TR300 in the back cut. Move back to a safe position before activating the TR300 again. Always watch the tree crown for unexpected movement. -
Page 19: Maintenance
Caution: When reversing the TR300, ensure that hands are kept clear of moving components. The lateral plastic guards have been mounted on the head of the TR300 as “safety flaps”. Information: When retracting, the motor automatically stops at the rear stop. Once it has reached this point, the TR300 can only be extended. -
Page 20: Functional Check
The power function should only activate when the TR300 is under load. If it is activated when not under load, check for resistance in the spindle or sliding guide. This may be due to inadequate cleaning/ or lubrication. -
