FELLING A TREE
Hazardous Conditions
WARNING:
When felling a tree, it is important that you heed the following
warnings to prevent possibly serious injury.
◾
Do not fell trees during periods of high wind or heavy precipitation. Wait until the
hazardous weather has ended.
◾
Do not fell trees that lean at extreme angles or large trees with rotten limbs, loose
bark, or hollow trunks. Instead, have these trees pushed or dragged down with
heavy equipment and then cut them up.
◾
Do not fell trees near electrical wires or buildings.
◾
Check the tree for damaged or dead branches that could fall and hit you during felling.
◾
Periodically glance at the top of the tree during the back cut to assure the tree is
going to fall in the desired direction.
◾
If the tree starts to fall in the wrong direction, or if the saw gets caught or hung
up during the fall, leave the saw and save yourself!
Preparation for Tree Felling
◾
When bucking and felling operations are being performed by two or more persons
at the same time, the felling operation should be separated from the bucking
operation by a distance of at least twice the height of the tree being felled. Trees
should not be felled in a manner that would endanger any person, strike any
utility line or cause any property damage. If a tree does make contact with a utility
line, stay clear of the tree and the line and notify the utility company immediately.
◾
The chain saw operator should stand on the uphill side of the terrain, as the tree
is likely to roll or slide downhill after it is felled.
