notch, which determines the felling direction.
• Prepare a path retreat away from felling direction.

position, as tree can roll or slide down after falling.
• Felling direction is determined by the notch.
• Before making a notch take into account the position of large limbs and the direction
of the natural lean, in order to determine direction of its felling.
• Avoid cutting during strong winds or changeable wind direction.
• Consult tree felling specialists. Do not cut a tree if there is danger of falling onto
power lines. Do not cut trees without permission of appropriate services and owners.
• When felling start making a notch on the side of the tree facing the feeling direction.
The notch should be wide enough to direct the fall of the tree.
