Professional guidance & safety tips
Wedges are tools that improve control and safety when used correctly. Always follow chainsaw and arborist safety practices, and wear appropriate PPE (helmet, eye & ear protection, gloves, chainsaw chaps).
How to use
- Make your directional cut (face cut) and back cut as appropriate for the tree species and size.
- Insert the wedge into the back cut and tap gently with a hammer or maul until seated.
- Use the wedges progressively (small first for precision, larger for greater lift) to guide the tree's fall.
- Remove or leave wedges as appropriate based on your felling technique — never rely solely on a wedge as a safety device.
Safety reminders
- Inspect wedges and bag before use; replace if cracked or damaged.
- Never stand in the fall path and always maintain an escape route.
- Store wedges in their bag in a dry place to prolong life.
FAQ
Are plastic wedges as strong as metal?
ABS plastic wedges are highly impact-resistant and corrosion-proof. While metal wedges can offer different mechanical properties, plastic wedges reduce the risk of blade damage and rust, and are excellent for most felling and splitting tasks.
Will these wedges slip out during use?
UNCO wedges include serrated edges that improve grip inside cuts and help reduce slipping when driven correctly.
Is the kit suitable for large timber?
Yes — the set includes 8" wedges for larger trees. For very large timber or specialized forestry operations, use according to professional guidelines and consider complementing with larger tools if necessary.
