• Face <strong>The</strong> <strong>Tree</strong> In <strong>The</strong> <strong>Felling</strong> Direction (1 & 2)<br />

• Bar Is Pushed Straight In On Both Sides Leaving <strong>The</strong> Holding Wood (3 & 4)<br />

• Clip <strong>The</strong> Holding Wood On Each Side To Prevent Side Scarring (5 & 6)<br />

• Continue <strong>The</strong> Back Cut In <strong>The</strong> Opposite Direction Of <strong>The</strong> Face (7)<br />

– Stop <strong>The</strong> Back Cut Short Of <strong>The</strong> <strong>Tree</strong> Falling<br />

– Safer To Remove <strong>The</strong> Chainsaw Before <strong>The</strong> Back Wood Is Severed<br />

• <strong>The</strong> Trigger Cut (8) Releases <strong>The</strong> <strong>Tree</strong> To Fall Without Pinching <strong>The</strong> Saw Blade<br />
