Cut difcult branches piece by piece.
Tree felling technique
Safe distance
The safe distance between a tree that is to be felled and
anyone else working nearby is at least 21/2 tree lengths.
Make sure that no-one else is in this ”risk zone” before or
during felling.
Felling direction
The aim is to fell the tree in a position where you can limb and
cross-cut the log as easily as possible. You want it to fall on
ground where you can stand and move about safely. The main
point to avoid is letting the tree fall onto another tree. See
instructions under the heading Freeing a tree that has fallen
badly.
Once you have decided which way you want the tree to fall
you must judge which way the tree would fall naturally.
Several factors affect this:
Lean of the tree
Bend
Wind direction
Arrangement of branches
Weight of snow
You may nd you are forced to let the tree fall in its natural
direction because it is impossible or dangerous to try to make
it fall in the direction you rst intended.

WARNING! It takes a lot of experience to fell
a tree. Inexperienced users of chain saws
should not fell trees. Do not attempt any task
that you feel unsure of!
