Timber Training With the Essential Options Now


Posted September 27, 2020 by TowieTimber

Before cutting down a tree, ask yourself the right questions!It is logical, before embarking on the operation of felling one of your trees in your garden or on your land, you should ask yourself a few questions, here are a few...

 
Felling with a chainsaw: pay close attention to all the safety rules before cutting your tree with a chainsaw. Equip yourself properly: helmet, goggles, gloves, safety shoes.

1) Watch out for the fall of the tree, it may seem obvious but you have to look at it (and do the right calculations): check the direction of the fall of the tree! Take the wind into account. If in doubt, check the angle of the shaft with a plumb line. Especially remember to clear the surroundings and also consider a way to move if the tree falls in your direction.

2) Once the material is ready and the area cleared, you must prune the trunk of the tree. The goal is to remove all the twigs and branches that will get in the way of cutting the tree. For this you can use a pull chain from top to bottom.

3) You must then choose your cutting technique, it will depend on the size of the tree, the angle of the slope, and the dimensions of your chainsaw.

4) Check the presence or absence of any diseases in the tree. If it is discolored, swollen or particularly soft, it is probably sick. The tree will then have to be felled in the natural direction that will occur because the tree will be much less resistant.

5) Finally, select your felling tools. The size of the tree should be taken into consideration. For a small tree, a long pole may be sufficient, but on a large tree, a rope and a winch will be needed.

Finally, 2 fundamental rules for cutting a tree:
A tree mutilated by an anarchic pruning and cutting wounds will always be more dangerous after the intervention than before. From Australian Timber Trainers Association you can find the best deals.
Injuries caused by the improper use of a chainsaw can cause death in a few minutes simply depending on the location of the wound.
