the guide bar, chain, or engine can result.

FELLING A TREE
PLANNING
a WARNING! Check for broken or dead
branches which can fall while cutting
causing serious injury. Do not cut near
buildings or electrical wires if you do not
know the direction of tree fall, nor cut at
night since you will not be able to see well,
nor during bad weather such as rain, snow,
or strong winds, etc. If the tree makes

The chainsaw operator should keep on the uphill side
of the terrain as the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill
after it is felled.
Study the natural conditions that can cause the tree to
fall in a particular direction.
Natural conditions that can cause a tree to fall in a
particular direction include:
The wind direction and speed.
The lean of the tree. The lean of a tree might not be
apparent due to uneven or sloping terrain. Use a
plumb or level to determine the direction of tree lean.
Weight and branches on one side.
Surrounding trees and obstacles.
Look for decay and rot. If the trunk is rotted, it can
snap and fall toward the operator. Check for broken or
dead branches which can fall on you while cutting.

drown out a warning call.
Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples, and
wire from the tree where cuts are to be made.
