1.
Determine the direction that the tree will fall.
Consider the wind direction, if there are heavier
limbs on 1 side of the tree, and the natural tilt
of the tree, if any.
2.
Determine a clear, safe retreat path away from
the danger area; refer to

Make the first cut a third of the way through the
tree diameter on the side where you want the
tree to fall

Note:
Making this cut prevents the chain saw
from being pinched while making the next cut.

5.
Make a second cut to form a notch, starting the
cut at least 5 cm (2 inches) above and away
from the first cut
6.
Make the back cut from the opposite side of the
notch and about 5 cm (2 inches) higher than the
bottom of the notch as shown in
Important:
(1 to 2 inches) from the notch to form a hinge
between the cuts
the tree from falling in the wrong direction
or twisting as it falls.
Note:
As the back cut nears the hinge
16), the tree should begin to fall.
7.
When the tree begins to fall, remove the chain
saw, shut it off, put it down, and retreat along the
path you determined in step 2.
Important:
undesired direction, immediately stop the
cut, shut off the chain saw, put the chain saw
down, and use a wedge to open the cut and
push the tree in the desired direction.
