Safety from Trees

Safety from Trees

Begin by making a shallow notch (1/4 to 1/3 Dia. is bored out cutting back from the notch, leaving a good hinge and sufficient holding wood. the other side of the tree, ensuring that the two boring cuts meet properly, and leaving a strap of holding wood. and the tree falls,

guided by the hinge.

Cut an open-face notch on the side of the tree that faces the direction you want the tree to fall. Make your top cut first. Begin your top cut at any height on the tree above the ground, allowing enough room for the undercut. First cut should be downward at an angle of 70°.

Felling is the process of downing individual trees, an element of the task of logging. The person cutting the trees is a feller.

Logging eTool - Making the Cuts - Felling Hinge. The hinge is the wood between the undercut (face cut/notch) and the back cut. The purpose of the hinge is to provide sufficient wood to hold the tree to the stump during the majority of the tree’s fall and to guide the tree's fall in the intended direction.

Following the instructions in the diagram, you make a “notch cut” first and you make this cut on the side of the tree that faces the direction you want the tree to fall. Then, you make the felling cut, leaving a hinge.

Tree topping is the practice of removing whole tops of trees or large branches and/or trunks from the tops of trees, leaving stubs or lateral branches that are too small to assume the role of a terminal leader. Other common names for the practice include hat-racking, heading, rounding over, and tipping.

Cut an open-face notch in the direction of the lay. Make the back cut, leaving an extra thick hinge so the tree will not fall before you can retreat from the work area. Retreat at a 90-degree angle from the trunk in either direction to a distance beyond the felling radius of the tree.

rees spread their roots deep and wide, and uprooting breaks a number of these roots. Not all uprooted trees can be saved, but in some cases, you may successfully revive the tree by replanting it. Even those successfully replanted trees can suffer transplant shock; however, so post-replanting care is very important.
