Felling is done using three cuts. First you make the 
directional cuts, which consist of the top cut and the bottom 
cut, then you finish with the felling cut. By placing these cuts 
correctly you can control the felling direction very accurately.

To make the directional cut you begin with the top cut. Aim 
using to the saw’s felling direction mark (1) toward a goal 
further forward in the terrain, where you would like the tree to 
fall (2). Stand on the right-hand side of the tree, behind the 
saw, and cut with a pull stroke.

Next make the bottom cut so that it finishes exactly at the end 
of the top cut.

The directional cuts should run 1/4 of the diameter through 
the trunk and the angle between the top cut and bottom cut 
should be 45

°

.

The line where the two cuts meet is called the directional cut 
line. This line should be perfectly horizontal and at right 
angles (90

°

) to the chosen felling direction.

The felling cut is made from the opposite side of the tree and 
it must be perfectly horizontal. Stand on the left side of the 
tree and cut on the pull stroke.

Make the felling cut about 1.5-2 inches (3-5 cm) above the 
bottom directional cut.

Finish the felling cut parallel with the directional cut line so 
that the distance between them is at least 1/10 of the trunk 
diameter. The uncut section of the trunk is called the felling 
hinge.

The felling hinge controls the direction that the tree falls in.

All control over the felling direction is lost if the felling hinge 
is too narrow or non-existent, or if the directional cuts and 
felling cut are badly placed.

When the felling cut and directional cut are complete the tree 
should start to fall by itself or with the aid of a felling wedge 
or breaking bar.
