Cut all the way through the log from above. Avoid letting the 
chain touch the ground as you finish the cut. Maintain full 
throttle but be prepared for what might happen.

If it is possible (can you turn the log?) stop cutting about 2/3 
of the way through the log.

Turn the log and finish the cut from the opposite side.

The log is supported at one end. There is a high risk that it 
will split.

Start by cutting from below (about 1/3 of the way through).

Finish by cutting from above so that the two cuts meet.

The log is supported at both ends. There is a high risk that 
the chain will jam.

Start by cutting from above (about 1/3 of the way through).

Finish by cutting from below so that the two cuts meet.

When limbing thick branches you should use the same 
approach as for cutting.

Cut difficult branches piece by piece.

The safe distance between a tree that is to be felled and 
anyone else working nearby is at least 21/2 tree lengths. 
Make sure that no-one else is in this ”risk zone” before or 
during felling.

The aim is to fell the tree in a position where you can limb and 
cross-cut the log as easily as possible. You want it to fall on 
ground where you can stand and move about safely. The main 
point to avoid is letting the tree fall onto another tree.  See 
instructions under the heading Freeing a tree that has fallen 
badly.

Once you have decided which way you want the tree to fall 
you must judge which way the tree would fall naturally.

Several factors affect this:

•

Lean of the tree

•

Bend

•

Wind direction
