    TEXT VERSION OF SLIDE:

    Title: Highlights of Manual Felling Techniques:
    Type: Text Slide
    Content:
    • An undercut must be made in each tree being felled. The undercut must be of a size so the tree will not split and will fall in the intended direction.

    • A backcut must be made in each tree being felled. The backcut must leave sufficient hinge wood to hold to tree to the stump during most of its fall so that the hinge is able to guide the tree's fall in the intended direction. Except in Open Face felling, the backcut must be above the level of the horizontal facecut in order to provide an adequate platform to prevent kickback.

    • Domino felling is prohibited.
