Function

The felling wedges may only be used in timber harvesting. The felling
wedges are inserted into the prepared symmetrical wedge-shaped
moulding, which has been cut into the tree trunk at an appropriate height.
There is a mark on the spring steel plates up to which the felling wedges
must be inserted into the tree trunk. If this is not the case, the
symmetrical wedge-shaped form for the felling wedge must be enlarged
until it can be inserted up to the markings. The rows of teeth on the
spring steel plates engage with the vertical wood fibres. The lifting
wedge made of special plastic is located between the spring steel
plates. With the help of a ratchet, an impact wrench (Titan 80 Pro
1360Nm; Titan 50 750Nm) or the radio drive, the spindle is driven and
the lifting wedge spreads the felling cut. After felling, the lifting wedge
can be returned to its original position. In the case of strong trees with a
large BHD, two felling wedges can be used next to each other to increase
the lifting force and ensure work safety.

Commissioning and operation

For safe use of the felling wedge, only use the safety felling technique.
This is described below.

Preparations on the tree

Assessing the tree
Before you start felling, you must carefully assess the tree to be
felled.Take into account the following factors that influence the felling
process:
> Lean and height of the tree
> Natural overhang
> Condition and shape of the limbs (dead or loose limbs)
> Wind direction and strength
> Obstacles in the vicinity (houses, roads, power lines)
> If possible, fell the tree in its natural direction of fall
> Load-bearing capacity of the wood in the area of the felling wedge
used (decay)
