Kallumkadavul.I recall when loading in KGV dock in Kidderpore back in the 1950s when a worker was crushed by falling bales of jute,the Bengali boss looked down at this poor sod and turned to me saying,It doesn't matter it's only a coolie!So,no change there then!

@stillbashingmetal The cuts are made to form a hinge that folds up in the direction he wants the cut section to fall along. Go to the Stihl website and you can read all about it any one of the chainsaw manuals.

He is good but a good trimmer would have side cut it and made it hinge to the other side of the tree.... KS- WTS boys!

@stillbashingmetal Making the v-cut underneath weakens the branch on the bottom side. Then by making the top cut, the branch will fall away from the arborist. The v-cut helps determine the direction the branch falls. It helps the arborist control the branch as you see here. If you just start cutting on the top, you can't control the direction it falls. When you cut through to a certain point, the little wood remaining will break and tear in an unpredictable way.

Why do you cut through the last branch using many 'under and over' V cuts? (Sorry, I don't know the technical terms).Why don't you just cut straight through in one cut? There's obviously a reason, I'm interested to know why. Thanks.

@theonlyCWB I don't think so. This guy knows what he is doing and understands gravity. He was able to drop the branch inside to miss the powerline. That's why somebody said 'beautiful'.
