injuries!
Before beginning the felling work, make sure that:
• there are no people or animals in the felling area of
the tree.

felling direction.
• the area around the trunk is free of obstacles (risk of
stumbling!).
• the next workplace is at least two and a half tree lengths away. Before felling, the felling direction
of the tree must be checked and it must be ensured that there are no objects, people or animals in
a distance of 2 1/2 tree lengths.

2. On the other side, make the felling cut, which must be somewhat higher than
