The log is lying on the ground. There is little risk of the 
chain jamming or the object splitting. However there is a risk 
that the chain will touch the ground when you finish the cut.

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.

During tree maintenance work above ground level, the 
working area must always be secured and marked out with 
signs, tape or the like. The safe distance between the top of 
the tree that is to be felled and the nearest workplace must be 
at least 2 1/2 times the height of the tree. 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 in a 
location where you can stand and move about safely. The 
main thing to avoid is that the falling tree top should get 
jammed in another tree. Taking down a ”jammed” tree top is 
very dangerous (see point 4 in this section).

Once you have decided which way you want the top of the 
tree to fall you must assess which way the top of the tree 
would fall naturally.
