in the cut to reach the hinge. (See figure D).
Begin the cut on the side to which the tree is to fall.
Cut a notch approximately 1/3 of the way into the tree.
(See figure A)
The position of this notch is important since the tree will
try to fall "into" the notch. (See figure A)
Figure B
The felling cut is made on the side opposite the notch.
Make the felling cut placing spiked bumper 2.5 cm to

approximately 1/10 of diameter to the inner edge of the
notch (See figure B) in order to leave the uncut portion
of the wood as a hinge.
Do not try to cut through to the notch with the felling
cut. The remaining wood between the notch cut and
felling cut will act as a hinge when the tree falls, guiding
it in the desired direction.

When the tree starts to fall, kill the engine, place the
saw on the ground and make your retreat quickly.
To fell big tree with a diameter exceeding twice the bar
length start the notching cuts from one side and draw
the saw through to the other side of the notch.
Start the back cut on one side of the tree with spiked
bumper engaged, pivoting the saw through to from the
desired hinge on that side.
Then remove the saw for the second cut.
Insert the saw in the first cut very carefully so as not to
cause kickback.
