1. Pre-plan a safe exit from falling branches
and debris. Ensure the exit route is clear
of obstacles that would prevent or hinder
movement. Remember freshly cut bark and
wet grass is slippery.
2. Be aware of the direction that a branch may
fall. Consider all conditions that may affect
the direction of fall. Including:
a. The intended direction of fall.
b. The natural lean of the branch.
c. Any unusual heavy limb structure or decay.
d. Surrounding trees and obstacles including
overhead power lines.
e. The wind speed and direction.
3. The safe distance between a branch
and debris to be felled and bystanders,
buildings, and other objects is at least
2 ½ times the length of the branch. Any
bystander, building, or object within this
distance is at risk from being struck by the
falling branch.
4. Begin and continue cutting only with the
chain moving at full speed.
5. When using the Extension pole to cut the
branches on a tree, make sure to keep a
firm footing and balance. Do not stand the
position where the branch may land after
being cut.
6. Before cutting is started, consider the
natural lean of the tree, the wind direction
to judge which way the branch will fall.
7. Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails,
staples, and wire from the branch where
you plan to make your cut.
