FELLING A TREE
:
Decide the direction in which you wish the
tree to fall, taking into account the direction
of the wind, the position of branches, lean of
the tree, ease of subsequent limbing and
bucking
(will be discussed next)
and other
factors general at the time.

No person or animal must be within 2.5 tree
lengths of the base of the tree to be felled.

You should clear two escape routes, each
opening out at an angle of 45° in the direction
opposite to that in which you plan the tree
should fall. These escape routes must be free
and clear of obstruction.
LIMBING:
This is the process of removing the branches from a fallen tree .

Check the direction in which a branch will bend before cutting it.
Always cut on the opposite side to the bending direction so that
the bar is not pinched in the cut.

For large limbs that cannot be
removed in one cut, make an initial
cut from the bent side and finish by
sawing from the opposite direction.

Do not remove limbs that supports the
fallen tree on the ground until the tree
has been cut into lengths.

WARNING!
Always keep a balanced stance. Do not stand on the
log. Be alert to the fact that the log may roll over. When working on
a slope, always stand on the up-hill side of the log.
Avoid cutting into the ground as this will quickly dull the chain.
