A felling wedge is used primarily to direct the fall of a tree and to prevent the chainsaw bar from becoming pinched in the cut as the tree begins to fall.
For most typical felling operations, one wedge is sufficient. For larger diameter trees or to ensure a precise fall direction, multiple wedges may be used. Always ensure the wedge is placed behind the chainsaw blade in the back cut.
These wedges are designed for tree felling direction and preventing saw binding, not for splitting logs. Splitting wedges are typically shaped differently and designed to be driven with a maul or axe.
Each wedge in this pack measures 5.5 inches (140mm) in length.
Yes, they are constructed from durable ABS plastic and designed for heavy-duty use in forestry, making them suitable for professional arborists and loggers.
The wedges are made from durable ABS plastic.
The high-visibility yellow color is a safety feature, making the wedges easier to spot in woodland environments and reducing the risk of accidents or loss.
Ensure the chainsaw cut is sufficiently wide and deep. Use a hammer or mallet to assist in driving the wedge. Check that the wedge's point is not obstructed by debris.
Verify that the wedge is positioned correctly in the back cut, behind the chainsaw blade. Ensure the wedge is driven in far enough to create sufficient leverage. Consider using multiple wedges or a larger wedge for significant lean or large diameter trees.
Ensure the wedge is hammered in deeply enough to keep the cut fully open. If the tree's weight is significant, a second wedge may be needed on the opposite side of the cut or further back to maintain the opening.
While designed for heavy duty use, excessive force on exceptionally hard or large timber may cause damage. Ensure the wedge is used as intended for guiding felling and not as a primary splitting tool. Inspect for pre-existing cracks before use.
