Felling Wedge
December 17th, 2009
how do i get my chainsaw out of a tree if it gets pinched?
got my new husqvarna 445 pinched in a tree, before i go on yes i am a beginner at tree felling so no need for any smart comments or w/e threes only one way to learn and that’s by doing it. so if u got something negative to say don’t leave it here. anyways i cut a little to low and the wieght of the tree shifted …it ws getting dark so i disconnected the bar and chain from the saw because i didn’t want to leave my new saw out overnight in 15 degree weather. so i need to get bar and chain out. i know about wedges and ropes but ropes are costly and wedges i heard can break often, which is the cheapest and most effective way for me to get my bar and chain back.
its pinched between a 50ft tall tree that’s still standing straight up.
thanks for your help..
This happened to me when a tree decided to not fall in the direction of the under cut. It happens. If wedges don’t work then you will have to get someone with a chain saw and fall the tree by cutting above where your bar is. This is what I did. You did the right thing to remove the power head from the bar. Always have wedges (at least 4) handy when falling as they can help persuade a tree to fall in the right direction (but not always)
Good luck.

Holocaust at the Felling $16.25 Fenwick Skipsey survives Trafalgar and a massive mining disaster on the Tyneside, before relishing his involvement in the epoch-making success of George Stephenson’s ‘Rocket’ at Liverpool. His attraction to a spirited girl gives him far more difficult circumstances to cope with. Cannon shot and underground explosions had not prepared him at all for the subtle and potentially more devastating social hurdles gradually and remorselessly ranged against them both. Their multiple differences of background, education and faith also had to be worked out in the shadow of sporadic but persistent attentions of a deranged murderer. Many have struggled long and hard with the former, and these two could well have done without the latter. |

Felling Mine Disaster $70.1 Felling mine disaster was one of the first major Mining accidents or mine disasters in Britain, claiming 92 lives on 25 May 1812. The colliery was situated in Felling, Tyne and Wear part of Gateshead in what used to be County Durham, and had two shafts about 600 feet deep. It was extended in 1810 by the opening up of a new coal seam, the Low Main seam, and it was here that the explosion which engulfed the pit occurred. As with so many other coal mine disasters, the accident was caused by ignition of firedamp which then triggered a coal dust explosion. The explosion traveled through the galleries, and ended by erupting from one of the shafts. At that time, lighting in the pits was hazardous. Open flame lamps could easily ignite the gas, so steel mills were often used to provide weak illumination from sparks, but these too could set off a gas explosion. The alternative was to deliberately destroy gas accumulations in a dangerous operation conducted by a monk, actually a foolhardy miner shrouded in a wet blanket who poked a candle on a long pole into gas pockets. His life must have been short, but probably well paid when successful.

Tree Faller’s Manual: Techniques for Standard and Complex Tree-Felling Operations $14.29 The Tree Faller"s Manual is an essential handbook for forest operators and others who need to fell trees manually using a hand-held chainsaw. This manual builds on the information provided by the Chainsaw Operator"s Manual. Tree felling is a high risk activity. Many fatalities and serious injuries have occurred as a result of being struck by falling trees, dislodged tree limbs or other dangers in the area. Most of these accidents are caused by using unsafe felling techniques and not following safe work procedures. This manual will guide the faller to safer work techniques. The manual is based on the national competency standards for the forest and forest products industry where tree felling is covered using three categories: basic, intermediate and advanced. Basic tree felling applies to trees that are relatively small, with a single stem and no defects. Intermediate tree felling covers trees with single or multiple stems, limited defects, and lean and weight distribution that can be adapted to felling direction. Advanced tree felling applies to larger and more complex trees and includes trees deemed to be more hazardous. Workplace safety, risk assessment and site preparation are included along with the theory, techniques and tools for each of the tree-felling categories. |

The Backyard Lumberjack: The Ultimate Guide to Felling, Bucking, Splitting & Stacking $17.79 For every man who has ever conjured up a picture of himself felling trees in a roar of chainsaw noise and power, "The Backyard Lumberjack" is an account of dreams fulfilled. Father and son lumberjacks Stephen and Frank Philbrick have enjoyed the thrilling destruction of felling, bucking, and splitting timber for hundreds of cords of firewood. Together they bring practical instruction and first-hand advice to every man with a chainsaw. Before there can be any felling of trees or satisfying shouting of Timber , every potential lumberjack must choose the proper saw. The Philbricks offer buying advice based on the quantity of wood to be cut and the amount of time to be spent on the job. Diagrams of chainsaw parts, functions, and maintenance requirements; tables and charts of saw specifications and firewood volume; and personal cautionary tales of on-the-job injuries arm potential lumberjacks with the necessary tools to make informed choices. Chainsaw in hand, father and son move on to detailed instructions on managing a woodlot, felling and bucking, splitting and stacking, and even include fun facts on burning. For every lumberjack chore they offer advice on equipment (chaps, helmets, felling wedges, hatchets, mauls, peeves), careful procedural instruction, safety and efficiency strategies, and always their humorous anecdotes and tales of tree adventure. For the rural lumberjack with acres of woodland, the suburban guy with a cord of wood to split and stack for the fireplace, or the urban guy who just likes to think about chainsaws, "The Backyard Lumberjack" is as much an engaging read on the legends and experiences of lumberjacking as a practical reference guide. |
