a) Select the applicable cutting technique for the tension in the branch. 2. Make sure that no person is in the risk zone before or during felling. WARNING: If you are not sure about how to cut the branch, speak to a professional chainsaw operator before you continue. Refer to To cut trees and branches that are in tension on page 20 for instructions on how to cut branches that are in tension. To use the tree felling technique WARNING: You must have experience to fell a tree. If possible, engage in a training course in chainsaw operation. Speak to an operator with experience for more knowledge. To keep a safe distance 1. Make sure that persons around you keep a safe distance at a minimum of 2 1/2 tree lengths. To calculate the felling direction 1. Examine in which direction it is necessary for the tree to fall. The goal is to fell it in a position where you can limb and cut the trunk easily. It is also important that you are stable on your feet and can move about safely. WARNING: If it is dangerous or not possible to fell the tree in its natural direction, fell the tree in a different direction. 2. Examine the natural fall direction of the tree. For example the tilt and bend of the tree, wind direction, the location of the branches and weight of snow. 3. Examine if there are obstacles, for example other trees, power lines, roads and/or buildings around. 4. Look for signs of damage and rot in the stem. WARNING: Rot in the stem can mean a risk that the tree falls before you complete the cutting. 5. Make sure the tree has no damaged or dead branches that can break off and hit you during felling. 6. Do not let the tree fall onto a different standing tree. It is dangerous to remove a caught tree and there is a high accident risk.
