Cutting down a tree with a chainsaw is not an activity to be taken lightly. Must be planned and organized and must be maintained at all times, especially on security issues. Let's see, by having the right equipment to start and security.

Safety First

Whenever you use any size chain saw you must make sure you're wearing the right clothes. You need good solid boots standing by falling objects and to protect the blade goes bad, safety glassesThat wrap around the face (small particles of sawdust can cause permanent damage to eyes), hearing protection (the largest, most powerful chainsaws, which is required to cut timber, are very strong and if it can be used to permanently damage the eardrums cause); strong glove both hands protected from falling materials and give you a better grip on the chainsaw, a helmet is to prevent essential to protect the head from falling debris and pants to protect or 'cracking', the chain sawCut the legs.

Ensuring the safety of others

Make sure you know, people close to what you do (that are pets and animals in barns or locked by the task) and create an area only will be allowed. The scattered houses of the value of inanimate objects and to guard the power lines overhead.

Determine where the tree falls

Before you begin cutting, it is important to have a clear idea of where the tree will land when youdeforested. Clear irregular surfaces are free from other trees is ideal. Avoid the problem of it falling rocks or other wounds, not to damage the end of the structure. Try the fall of the tree at all points of the compass to display. What is the safest and preferred for its fall? Also consider how the tree leaning. It is generally easier and safer to cut a tree in the direction that, if possible, is supported. Once you have decided where you want the tree to fallit is useful to put a marker on the ground in exactly the intended point of contact. This will help to fix your cut corner.

Create an escape route

And 'imperative that you work for yourself an escape route. You must be able to withdraw safely away from the scene in the opposite direction, where the tree will fall. However, it was cut as the end of the structure, able to advise you fly and cause injury. It should be up to 45 degrees, where the tree isStanding. Check the path you are going to take is very clear and has no pitfalls.

Create a zip

It 'important that you are here with your cut cleanly. The attractions for weapons, or reference points to help you have a chain saw to cut the right angle. The visor is painted a line (or sometimes shaped) on the side of the saw to 90 degrees or perpendicular to the guide rail. To create the right angle, maneuvering the car so that the line showing where the treefall.

The first thing they do is a "hinge" and you need to do a notch face. 70 degrees wide - the same rating is an opening on the side of the tree in which direction it is going to fall. In fact, you are cutting the tree at 70 degrees, and to provide a cutting up to 70 degrees, or around a beautiful hinge hole.

The hole cut

Having the hinge must retire on the back of the property (the first in which directionthe tree will fall). You must now find a section (called a hole), in line with the center of the hinge. Make a hole is cut is known to cause setbacks. This is when the chain jumps back to the operator. If you take only the top of the saw cutting machine is to your body and face when you are only cut on the underside of the chain, which is already in the tree and when the nose (or top of the chain) leads to a tangent rotation. So thebest place to cut with the bottom of the tip.

Viewed from the rear of the property (this is your cut hole) in the middle of the hinge has been created to meet the needs of the tree. If you have the hinge section are met, the severity of the structure and push forward. However, you also need a method to activate the movement. The simplest method is to use a wedge. Once you have your position the first hole to cut the wedge into the cut and push forward with a hammer. FinishCut to the front of the tree and slide again with a hammer on the wedge home. If you feel the tree is your escape and retirement use away from the scene. Do not stand. However, do not turn your back on the tree falling. Hanging back for a distance of about six feet and face behind a tree stand, if you can.

Congratulations, you've cut your first tree! But every time you go through this process is never smug or cutAngles. The need for security and accuracy per day should be the focus of their work.
