The noise of your engine may drown any warning call.
Then, establish a path of escape and remove all obstacles.
This path should be opposite to the planned direction of the
fall of the tree and at a 45° angle (ill. 20). An alternate
path must also be selected. Place all tools and equipment
a safe distance away from the tree, but not on the escape
path.
