The proper techniques for basic felling, limbing, and cross-
cutting
Felling a tree
When bucking and felling operations are being performed by two or more persons at the same
time, the felling operations should be separated from the bucking operation by a distance of at
least twice
the height of the tree being felled. Trees should not be felled in a manner that would endanger
any person, strike any utility line or cause any property damage. If the tree does make contact
with any utility line, the company should be notified immediately.
The chain saw operator should keep on the uphill side of the terrain as the tree is likely to roll
or slide downhill after it is felled.
An escape path should be planned and cleared as necessary before cuts are started. The
escape path should extend back and diagonally to the rear of the expected line of fall .
